The present invention provides a patch deployment device, the device comprising a pusher wire having a proximal end and a distal end; a plurality of deployment wires, wherein each deployment wire: has a first end and a second end, and the first end and the second end are connected to the distal end of the pusher wire; and is configured to be in an unexpanded state when positioned and constrained within a catheter, and configured to self-expand into an expanded state when positioned beyond a distal end of the catheter and not constrained, wherein in the expanded state at least a portion of the wire is positioned substantially within a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pusher wire and has an asymmetric form when viewed along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pusher wire.
