An aneurysm closure device (10) having a pair of retention clips (16A, 18A and 16B, 18B) joined together. Each of the clips (16A, 18A and 16B, 18B) has an aneurysm (16A and 16B) anchor joined to a root-vessel anchor (18A and 18B), and is made of material having a resilient installed state, in which the aneurysm anchor and the root -vessel anchor are urged together, thereby squeezing and being retained by interposed tissue. Also, an aneurysm seal bridges the clips, sealing the aneurysm when the device is implanted, thereby causing the aneurysm to atrophy. |
