Circulatory monitoring systems and methods
First Claim
1. A medical or veterinary system comprising:
- a first artificial structure configured to administer a therapeutic material containing at least an artificial component via one or more capillaries of a vasculature locally; and
a second artificial structure configured to extract a portion of the therapeutic material out of the vasculature.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for obtaining and acting upon information indicative of circulatory health and related phenomena in human beings or other subjects. Some involve implementing or deploying therapeutic administration systems, for example, for obtaining a priori implant information and signaling a decision whether to initiate implant-site-targeting treatment partly based on the a priori implant information and partly based on one or more other clot-indicative determinants; or obtaining a flow-change-indicative measurement and signaling a decision whether to administer one or more clot-reducing agents at least partly based on the flow-change-indicative measurement; or obtaining one or more indications of a lytic material in a vicinity of one or more body lumens and accelerating a decrease in a local concentration of the lytic material in the vicinity of the one or more body lumens by causing one or more elements to extract at least a portion of the lytic material in the vicinity of the one or more body lumens in response to the one or more indications of the lytic material in the vicinity of the one or more body lumens; or one or more capture components configured to accelerate a decrease in a local concentration of one or more therapeutic structures along a downstream portion of a vasculature and one or more dispensation components configured to release the one or more therapeutic structures into an upstream portion of the vasculature.

41. A medical or veterinary system comprising:
-
a first artificial structure configured to administer a therapeutic material containing at least an artificial component via one or more capillaries of a vasculature locally; a second artificial structure configured to extract a portion of the therapeutic material out of the vasculature; a third artificial structure, configured to facilitate positioning at least a distal portion of the first artificial structure in the vasculature; another artificial structure, configured to implement a controlled occlusion of a portion of the vasculature; circuitry for detecting a presence of the therapeutic material; circuitry for indicating a release of the therapeutic material; and circuitry for triggering the second artificial structure responsive to one or more physical phenomena. - View Dependent Claims (42)
