Abstract:
The self-expandable aneurysm filling device, system and method provide for placement of the stent into an aneurysm to at least partially fill and stabilize the aneurysm. The self-expandable aneurysm filling device has a compressed undeployed configuration and an expanded three-dimensional deployed configuration, and a severable deployment junction releasably connects the self-expandable aneurysm filling device to a pusher wire. The severable deployment junction can be mechanically, electrolytically, or thermally severed to separate the self-expandable aneurysm filling device from the pusher wire.
