1. An occlusion device comprising:
a saddle region configured to traverse a sphincter and defining a lumen therethrough;
a first flange extending radially outwardly from a first end of the saddle region to anchor the device distal to the sphincter; and
a second flange extending radially outwardly from a second end of the saddle region to anchor the device proximal to the sphincter;
wherein the saddle region has a preset closed configuration configured so that the saddle region is delivered and deployed in a closed configuration substantially occluding flow of material through the lumen upon deployment of the saddle region across the sphincter and remains in the preset closed configuration to occlude flow of material through the lumen after deployment across the sphincter.
