ABSTRACT:
A device for expansion within a blood vessel having a wall defining a lumen in the body. The device comprises an elongated tubular member having proximal and distal extremities and having a longitudinal axis. An expansile member is carried by the distal extremity of the elongated tubular member and is movable between contracted and expanded configurations. A deformable membrane at least partially covers the expansile member and is sized so as to be capable of expanding as the expansile member moves from the contracted configuration to the expanded configuration. Deployment members are carried by the proximal extremity of the elongated tubular member and are coupled to the expansile member. The deployment members are adapted to be capable of moving the expansile member between the contracted and expanded configurations. A handle assembly is carried by the proximal extremity of the elongated tubular member and coupled to the deployment members.
