An embolizing system includes a catheter, having a lumen, an elongate member, insertable within the lumen of the catheter, and an occlusion particle. The occlusion particle has a receiving passageway therein for receiving the elongate member so the elongate member guides movement of the occlusion particle.

[ What is claimed is:] [17.] An embolization system for entering a vessel at an entry point and occluding a lumen of the vessel at an occlusion site, comprising:a catheter having a lumen, the catheter being formed of a material suitable to follow the lumen of the vessel from the entry point to the occlusion site;a first elongate member, insertable within the lumen of the catheter;an occlusion particle having a length not greater than approximately 1.2 mm and a receiving passageway extending along its length for receiving the first elongate member so the first elongate member guides movement of the occlusion particle; anda pusher, slidable relative to the first elongate member within the lumen of the catheter to engage the occlusion particle and to move the occlusion particle relative to the elongate member.
