An implant for occluding a passage in a circulatory system of a human body comprises elongate members (1) which can be twisted into fixation structures and at least two occluding bodies (2, 2′) being attached to the elongate members (1) and being arranged at a distance to each other. This implant combines the advantages of a single occluding body implant with the advantages of a double occluding body implant.
