Abstract
Coil occluder devices and systems and methods of using the same. In an exemplary embodiment of an occluder system of the present disclosure, the occluder system comprises an occluder device comprising a coil having at least a first, uncompressed configuration and a second, compressed configuration, wherein the coil in the first, uncompressed configuration is configured to fit within a delivery mechanism sized and shaped to fit within a mammalian luminal organ, and wherein the coil in the second, compressed configuration is configured to occlude a mammalian luminal organ, and a delivery mechanism sized and shaped to fit within the mammalian luminal organ, the delivery mechanism configured to receive the coil in the first, uncompressed configuration within a lumen defined within the delivery mechanism.
