11. A method, comprising:
distally sliding a braid toward an aneurysm thereby expanding a distal implant end of the braid from a collapsed condition to a deployed condition;
inverting the distal implant end to form an occlusive sack configured to occlude the aneurysm; and
continuing to distally slide the braid toward the aneurysm after formation of the first sack thereby changing a packing density of the occlusive sack with one or more unexpanded portions of the braid.
