Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for occluding a cerebral aneurysm which includes: delivering a flexible implant in a compressed first configuration to a cerebral aneurysm through a catheter; inserting the flexible implant into the aneurysm sac wherein the flexible implant self-expands to a second configuration; and then delivering embolic members and/or embolic material into the flexible implant to expand further the flexible implant into a third configuration which conforms to the walls of even an irregularly-shaped aneurysm sac.
