The device (10) comprising an expandable member having a main body portion (1Oem1) which, when in an expanded configuration, extends along a central axis of curvature (1 OC) that extends substantially in a single plane. The main body (10em1) having a superior portion (10emis) and an inferior portion (10emli). The superior portion (10emls) has a substantially larger cross-sectional area than a cross-sectional area of the inferior portion (1 Oem Ii) when the expandable member (10em1) is in an expanded configuration. The expandable member (1Oem1) further comprising a superior lobe portion (1Oem2) extending along a transverse axis (1OT) that is transverse to the central axis of curvature (IOC) at a location from which the superior lobe (10em2) extends.
