An occlusion device and catheter delivery system are disclosed. The occlusion device may include an expandable member, an extended arm directly connected to the expandable member and extending distally therefrom, and a distal ball tip on a distal end of the extended arm. The extended arm and distal ball tip can function to steer the catheter delivery system when tracking through a body lumen to reach the target delivery site.
