Embodiment Construction

[0062] Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to treating heart failure and / or other cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and hypotension in a patient. Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to implantable devices that manipulate the hemodynamics of renal blood flow to elicit a physiologically mediated therapeutic response. In certain instances, a patient's cardiac function may be compromised by the accumulation of excess fluid (eg, hypervolemia / hyperemia) in the body. Accumulation of fluid may increase fluid accumulation primarily in tissues and increase pressure in various circuits. The increased pressure in the tissue can further harm the patient by itself or in combination with an already failing heart. As discussed in further detail below, various aspects of the present disclosure relate to alleviating the accumulation of excess fluid and shunting excess fluid from the heart.

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems and methods that include arranging an implantable flow restriction device within the aorta of a patient. The methodsmay also include physical dimensions of the implantable flow restriction device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 450,434, filed January 25, 2017, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to systems, medical devices and methods for treating heart failure and / or other cardiovascular diseases. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to the removal of excess fluid buildup that increases pressure on a patient's heart. Background technique [0004] Patients experiencing heart failure may accumulate excess fluid in the body. Excess fluid accumulation can increase fluid accumulation in the interstitial space and increase the pressure on an already failing heart. Excess fluid (or hypervolemia) is the leading cause of hospitalization for heart failure patients (approximately 1,000,000 per year in the US). [0005] Treatment of excess fluid accumulation can be pharmaco...
