What is claimed is: 1. A device for closing an aperture in a vessel wall, the aperture having an external opening in an external region of the vessel wall and an internal opening in an internal region of the vessel wall and a longitudinal axis extending therethrough, the device comprising: an elongated member having a longitudinal axis and positionable inside the vessel against the internal opening of the aperture, the elongated member having a dimension at least substantially equal to a dimension of the internal opening of the aperture to prevent egress of fluid through the aperture, the elongated member having an upper surface and a lower surface and a side wall extending between the upper and lower surfaces, the elongated member pivotable from a delivery position through the aperture wherein the upper and lower surfaces are more aligned with the longitudinal axis extending through the aperture and a placement position wherein the upper and lower surfaces are substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis; and at least two curved legs positionable outside the vessel and spaced from the upper surface of the elongated member to help retain the elongated member in position, the curved legs looping inwardly toward one another and toward the longitudinal axis of the aperture. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least two curved legs are wires composed of shape memory material. 3. The device of claim 1, further comprising a connecting member to couple the curved legs to the elongated member. 4. The device of claim 3, wherein the connecting member comprises a flexible wire having a first portion connected to the elongated member and a second portion connected to a retaining member for the curved legs. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein the retaining member is a collar which secures the curved legs therein. 6. The device of claim 1, further comprising a tube connected to the elongated member for moving the elongated member toward the internal opening of the aperture, the tube having a series of slots for flexibility and an opening to receive and retain the at least two curved legs. 7. The device of claim 1 wherein the elongated member has a first portion of a first width and a second portion of a second width greater than the first width. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein the elongated member is paddle-shaped so the first portion is at one end of the elongated member and a second portion is at an adjacent second end of the elongated member. 9. The device of claim 1, further comprising a retaining member for securing the curved legs, the retaining member coupled to the elongated member. 10. The device of claim 1, wherein the elongated member has first and second ends, a lengthwise dimension and a widthwise dimension, the lengthwise dimension exceeding the widthwise dimension, and the widthwise dimension having an enlarged dimension at a region between the first and second ends of the elongated member. 11. The device of claim 1, wherein the elongated member is composed of a resorbable material. 12. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least two legs comprise four discrete wire elements, wherein opposing wire elements are spaced approximately 180 degrees apart. 13. The device of claim 1, wherein the elongated member is biased to a position transverse to an axis extending from the external opening to the internal opening of the aperture. 14. An apparatus for closing an aperture in a vessel comprising: a closure device having an aperture covering member and at least one leg extending from the covering member, the covering member and the at least one leg being movable between an insertion position and a deployed position, and in the deployed position the at least one leg being fully uncovered; wherein in the insertion position the covering member is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the aperture and in the deployed position the covering member is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aperture on a first side of the aperture, and the at least one leg in the insertion position is in a substantially straightened position extending upwardly from the covering member and in the deployed position has a curved configuration to grasp tissue on a second side of the aperture. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising a connecting wire coupled to the covering member and connecting the at least one leg to the covering member. 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the aperture covering member has an enlarged width portion. 17. An apparatus for closing an aperture in a vessel comprising: a closure device having an aperture covering member and at least one leg connected to the covering member, the covering member and the at least one leg being movable between an insertion position and a deployed position: wherein in the insertion position the covering member is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the aperture and in the deployed position the covering member is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aperture on a first side of the aperture, and the at least one leg in the insertion position is in a substantially straightened position and in the deployed position has a curved configuration to grasp tissue on a second side of the aperture: and wherein the at least one curved leg is composed of wire elements which extend downwardly toward the vessel and inwardly toward the aperture in the deployed position. 18. An apparatus for closing an aperture in a vessel, the apparatus comprising a patching member and a retaining member, the patching member positioned inside the vessel in contact along a portion of the inner vessel wall and having a dimension at least substantially equal to a dimension of the aperture to cover the aperture and prevent blood flow through the aperture, the retaining member positioned outside the vessel wall and including at least one uncovered gripping element extending upwardly away from the patching member and the aperture and curving in a placement position back toward the patching member and aperture. 19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the at least one gripping element comprises a plurality of spaced apart curved legs composed of shape memory material. 20. The apparatus of claim 19, further comprising a flexible member connecting the patching member to the retaining member.
