SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING PULSATILE PRESSURE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for reducing pulsatile pressure comprising:
- a reservoir structured to be implanted subcutaneously, said reservoir for holding a fluid therewithin;
an injection port in fluid communication with the reservoir;
a compliant body structured to be implanted in the lumen of a vessel, said compliant body including at least one compliant body lumen, said compliant body structured for expansion and compression upon changes in pressure in the vessel; and
a transvascular conduit extending between and fluidly coupling the reservoir and said at least one compliant body lumen,wherein said compression of the compliant body results in a reduction in peak pressure in the vessel.

Abstract
A device for reducing pressure within a lumen includes a reservoir structured for holding a fluid therein, an injection port in fluid communication with the reservoir, a compliant body structured to expand and contract upon changes in pressure, and a conduit extending between and fluidly coupling the reservoir and the compliant body. The fluid may be a compressible or a noncompressible fluid.
