1. A method of treating an aneurysm, the method comprising:
determining a vessel diameter associated with a vessel having the aneurysm, the vessel being tapered up to a 1 mm diameter range;
selecting one of a plurality of braided implants for treating the vessel, wherein each braided implant comprises a porosity consistent over the up to a 1 mm vessel diameter range, each braided implant configured to provide consistent porosity over different vessel diameter ranges; and
treating the vessel with the one of the plurality of braided implants,
wherein each braided implant of the plurality of implants comprises a porosity of 65%-70% that is consistent over the up to the 1 mm vessel diameter range.
