Disclosed is a very small diameter intravascular stent, or aneurysm cover, which may be used to occlude, or partially occlude, an aneurysm in the human brain. The stent is comprised of a thin-walled skeletal tubular member formed of interconnected sinusoidal members to thereby form a pattern of cells along the skeletal tubular member. The stent also includes anchor members, which are comprised of a longitudinal leg member having a radiopaque coil disposed about the leg member, which serve to retain the stent during delivery of the stent. |
