1. An implant comprising:
a tubular braid comprising an open end and a pinched end, the tubular braid further comprising a delivery shape and a predetermined shape, and the tubular braid further comprising:
a first segment extending from the open end to a proximal inversion,
a second segment encircled by the open end and extending from the proximal inversion to a distal inversion,
a third segment surrounded by the second segment and extending from the distal inversion, and
a ball segment depending from the third segment and, in the predetermined shape, extending radially outward from a central axis, providing a radially outward force, and converging at the pinched end to appose the proximal inversion.
