Abstract

A vascular cage comprises a self-expandable frame including a plurality of elongated flexible bands. The frame is configured to transition between a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration. The expanded frame may form a three-dimensional cage configured to surround an interior volume as the frame is deployed. At least some of the plurality of bands may have a substantially rectangular cross-section.
