| abstract |
A temporary vaso-occlusive device and methods for its use that provide temporary vascular occlusion while maintaining distal perfusion are described. A temporary vaso-occlusive device includes a multi-layer scaffold covering having proximal and distal attachment regions separated by a non-attached scaffold covering region where the scaffold covering abuts the scaffold frame but is not directly attached to it. obtain. In use, the at least partially covered scaffolding structure may allow some flow, occlude all flow, or allow no flow, or partial flow, based on the position of the scaffolding structure relative to the inner vessel wall. It may be positioned to modulate between flow conditions. |
