4 Claims

1. A device for at least partially sealing an aneurysm, comprising:

a first elongate member having a distal end;

a bridge positioned proximate the distal end and transformable between a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration in which it forms a plurality of protruding members that extend from, and are radially disposed around, the first elongate member;

a second elongate member that is movable relative the first elongate member, the first and second elongate members being configured such that one can be moved relative the other in order to transform the bridge between the delivery and deployed configurations;

a clip for retaining said bridge in the deployed configuration; and

a detachment zone of material proximally located relative to the bridge and the distal end of the first elongate member when said detachment zone of material is in a connected configuration, wherein the detachment zone of material is a GDC detachment zone.
