摘要:
An occlusion device for implantation within a body lumen includes a distal end, a proximal end, and an expandable member extending from the distal end to the proximal end. The expandable tubular member defines a passageway extending from the distal end to the proximal end. The expandable tubular member includes a plurality of struts that are joined to adjacent struts to form a plurality of closed shapes each defining a closed path. The plurality of struts are joined to form a plurality of fixed joints so that adjacent struts are pivotable around respective one of the fixed joints when an external force is applied to the expandable tubular member. The tubular member defines an ellipsoid shape.
