Abstract
A complex coil configured such that in a relaxed, minimum energy state configuration loops are formed having various orientations relative to each other. The complex coil provide improved thrombus formation and reduced rotation or tumbling once implanted. The complex coil is formed of a material that may be deformed for purposes of placing the complex coil into a catheter and returns to a complex shape that includes said loops once deployed.
