1. A system for reducing pulsatile arterial elastance and increasing pulsatile arterial compliance, comprising:

  • a fluid reservoir having a housing, said housing defining a unitary fluid chamber within said fluid reservoir for holding a fluid therewithin;

    an injection port fluidly connected to said fluid reservoir, said injection port being separate from said fluid reservoir or mounted directly on said fluid reservoir;

    a transvascular conduit; and

    a compliant body that is compressible and generally elastic, defines an internal volume, and is configured to be placed within a vascular lumen of a patient,wherein said fluid is pressurized such that said internal volume of said compliant body changes between an expanded state and a contracted state when subjected to changing pressure within the vascular lumen, andthe transvascular conduit fluidly connects said fluid reservoir and said compliant body.
