A vascular device has a plurality of struts (20) having a distal portion (14) and a proximal portion (12). The distal portions of the struts are retained in a converged position. The struts diverge radially outwardly. A plurality of vessel penetrating members (24) extend from the proximal portion of the struts for engaging the internal wall (W) of a vessel, wherein release of the retention of the distal portions of the struts causes the distal portions to move outwardly away from the longitudinal axis and the proximal portions of the struts to move inwardly toward the longitudinal axis such that the vessel engaging members pull the internal wall of the vessel radially inwardly.
