Abstract: Devices that can be delivered into a vascular system to divert flow are disclose herein. According to some embodiments, devices are provided for treating aneurysms by diverting flow. An expandable device can comprise, for example, first a plurality of strut regions and a plurality of bridge regions. Each of the bridge regions may connect a first strut of a first strut region to a second strut of a second strut region. The first strut region may comprise a first plurality of apices defining a first circumferential plane, and the second strut region may comprise a second plurality of apices defining a second circumferential plane. A first curved segment of the bridge may extend across the first circumferential plane towards the first strut region, and a second curved segment of the bridge may extend across the second circumferential plane towards the second strut region.

Abstract: Devices for treating vascular defects and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, for example, an occlusive device for treating an aneurysm includes a first mesh formed from a first tubular braid, the first mesh including a first petal-shaped region formed from a first flattened section of the first tubular braid. The first mesh can be coupled to a second mesh formed from a second tubular braid. The second mesh can include a second petal-shaped region formed from a second flattened section of the second tubular braid. When the occlusive device is deployed within the aneurysm, the first and second petal-shaped regions can extend at least partially over a neck of the aneurysm.

Abstract: Devices that can be delivered into a vascular system to divert flow are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, devices are provided for treating aneurysms by diverting flow. A flow-diverting device can comprise, for example, a frame and mesh immovably attached to and extending over a portion of the frame. The mesh can include a plurality of pores that are sized to inhibit the flow of blood through the frame into an aneurysm to a degree sufficient to lead to thrombosis and healing of the aneurysm when the device is positioned in a blood vessel and adjacent to the aneurysm.

Abstract: Various embodiments for a composite endovascular device (and variations thereof) that include an inner polymer structure and an outer thin-film shape memory structure. The inner polymer structure extends from a distal end to a proximal end along a longitudinal axis. The outer thin-film shape-memory structure has an inner thin-film surface coupled to the outer surface of the inner polymer structure from the distal end to the proximal end with a retrieval member at the proximal end to allow for the prosthesis to be retrieved after placement in a body vessel. The inner polymeric structure can be blended with a suitable bio-active agent or the agent can be loaded into the pores. The device can be permanent or temporary by virtue of being retrievable.
