A closure device to be inserted at least partially through a blood vessel wall aperture in a blood vessel wall, having at least two metal petals that can be inserted through the blood vessel wall aperture and into the lumen of the blood vessel. The petals are structured to prevent withdrawal through the blood vessel wall aperture when the length of the petal is generally aligned with the blood vessel wall. The metal petals have alignment features that tend to urge them into alignment relative to each other. The closure device includes a metal expansion member that is alterable from an unexpanded state to an expanded state. A bioabsorbable tensioning member interconnects the petals and the metal expansion member and is securable to the metal expansion member.

1. A closure device to be inserted at least partially through a blood vessel wall aperture in a blood vessel wall, the blood vessel having a lumen, the closure device comprising: at least two metal petals, each petal being an independent structure separate from each other petal and having a length, a width and a thickness, the width and thickness being such that the at least two metal petals can be inserted through the blood vessel wall aperture and into the lumen of the blood vessel, the length and the width being such that the length and the width prevent withdrawal of the at least two metal petals from the blood vessel through the blood vessel wall aperture when the length of at least one of the two metal petals is generally aligned with the blood vessel wall, the at least two metal petals having alignment features that tend to urge the at least two metal petals into alignment relative to each other when the at least two metal petals are deployed within the blood vessel;a metal expansion member that is alterable from an unexpanded state to an expanded state, which, when in the unexpanded state, is advanceable to a location near the blood vessel wall and which when in the expanded state is limited in movement relative to the blood vessel wall; anda bioabsorbable tensioning member that interconnects the at least two metal petals and the metal expansion member and that draws the petals and the metal expansion member toward each other upon being tensioned and that is securable to the metal expansion member to substantially maintain a relative positional relationship between the at least two metal petals and the metal expansion member upon being secured, whereby the at least two metal petals are positionable in the lumen adjacent to the blood vessel wall and the metal expansion member is limited in movement relative to the at least two metal petals and the at least two metal petals are stabilized in the blood vessel. 2. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metal biodegrades within a living being in a period of time that permits biological repair of the blood vessel wall in and around the blood vessel aperture. 3. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a surface topography of at least one of the metal expansion member or the at least two metal petals is modified by roughening whereby biodegradation of at least part of the closure device is facilitated. 4. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a chemical buffer whereby pH near at least part of the closure device is affected and whereby biodegradation of at least part of the closure device is facilitated. 5. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a metal stem portion having a cross sectional dimension to fit within the blood vessel wall aperture in a relationship that inhibits the passage of fluid through the blood vessel wall aperture, the stem portion being located between the at least two petals and the expansion member. 6. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bioabsorbable tensioning member comprises a filament that passes through each of the at least two metal petals and the expansion member and interfaces with the at least two metal petals in such a way that when the filament is tensioned the at least two metal petals are urged into an alignment wherein the length of the at least two metal petals is nonparallel. 7. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the alignment features comprise two apertures located in each of the at least two metal petals and the two apertures are differently oriented in each of the at least two metal petals such that when the apertures are aligned the at least two petals are offset from each other at angular intervals. 8. The closure device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the two apertures located in each of the at least two metal petals are differently angularly oriented relative to a long axis of each of the at least two metal petals such that when the apertures are aligned in the at least two petals the at least two petals are offset from each other at angular intervals. 9. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the alignment features comprise an aperture located in each of the at least two metal petals. 10. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the expansion member comprises a generally tubular structure having a deformable portion that deforms transversely upon longitudinal compression of the expansion member. 11. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a locking portion that selectively secures the bioabsorbable tensioning member so that movement of the bioabsorbable tensioning member relative to the metal expansion member is inhibited. 12. The closure device as claimed in claim 11, the locking portion further comprising a wedge and a wedge receiver that the bioabsorbable tensioning member passes between, the wedge and the wedge receiver being shiftable relative to one another between a disengaged state and an engaged state, the disengaged state being such that the bioabsorbable tensioning member is movable relative to the metal expansion member, the engaged state being such that the bioabsorbable tensioning member is secured between the wedge and the wedge receiver to inhibit movement of the bioabsorbable tensioning member relative to the expansion member. 13. The closure device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the wedge, the wedge receiver or both are formed of metal. 14. The closure device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the metal consists essentially of magnesium. 15. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an insertion assembly, the insertion assembly comprising a bypass tube, a delivery tube and a deployment tube. 16. The closure device as claimed in claim 15, the deployment tube further comprising an engagement feature at the distal end thereof, the engagement feature being structured to engage the metal expansion member and the deployment tube being structured to receive the bioabsorbable tensioning member therethrough, wherein the bioabsorbable tensioning member is movable through the deployment tube. 17. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metal consists essentially of magnesium. 18. The closure device as claimed in claim 17, wherein the magnesium has a purity in a range from about 90.0 percent to about 99.99 percent. 19. The closure device as claimed in claim 17, wherein the magnesium is about 99.80 percent pure. 20. The closure device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metal comprises magnesium alloyed with another metal. 21. The closure device as claimed in claim 20, wherein the magnesium is alloyed with iron. 22. The closure device as claimed in claim 20, wherein the magnesium is alloyed with manganese.
