1. A method for occluding a left atrial appendage of a heart, the method comprising:
positioning a framework within the left atrial appendage such that the framework extends to define a proximal side and a distal side with an axis, the proximal side of the framework extends radially outward and distally from a primary hub, the distal side of the framework extends radially inward to a distal end of the framework and extends radially inward and proximally to a secondary hub such that the secondary hub is positioned proximal the distal end of the framework; and
permanently implanting the framework in the left atrial appendage.
