ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus implementing and using techniques for body lumen closure, including use of an implantable medical closure device. The device includes a flexible strand defining an arcuate form. The strand is deformable upon implantation from a large cross-section condition to a small cross-section condition and has at least two anchoring portions disposed along the strand. The anchoring portions are configured to penetrate a wall of a body lumen such that when the strand is deformed to the small cross-section condition, the wall of the body lumen is disposed inwardly.
