The LUNA aneurysm embolization system (AES) is a self-expandable, round-ovoid implant made from a double layer of 72 nitinol 25 µm wires. The mesh (made of a total of 144 wires) is secured at proximal and distal ends, and clearly marked with radiopaque markers. Available sizes for the device are 4.5–8.5 mm. The delivery system provides for distal navigation through all 0.027-inch compatible commercially available microcatheters. The detachment of the LUNA AES is mechanical and controlled by the operator activation of a delivery handle.
