20150151121 | ENHANCING PERFUSION BY CONTRACTION - Apparatus and methods are described including driving a first electric current into a vicinity of a site of a first artery of a subject that is downstream of a bifurcation of the first artery with a second artery of the subject. The electric current is configured to divert blood in an upstream direction, into the second artery, by constricting the first artery at the downstream site. Other applications are also described. | 06-04-2015 |
20140180391 | WIRELESS ENDOVASCULAR STENT-BASED ELECTRODES - Apparatus and methods are provided for use with a blood vessel of a subject, including a stent ( | 06-26-2014 |
20140114377 | VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION - Apparatus and methods are described including identifying a subject as suffering from a condition selected from the group consisting of congestive heart failure, diastolic heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, and hypertension. In response to the identifying, an electrode is placed on a vagus nerve of the subject at a vagal site that is between the upper junction of the left thoracic vagal trunk with the left subclavian artery of the subject, and the thoracic vagal branching into an esophageal plexus of the subject. The subject is treated by electrically stimulating the vagal site by driving a current into the vagal site, via the electrode. Other applications are also described. | 04-24-2014 |
20130123880 | DETECTOR-BASED AORTIC STIMULATION - Apparatus is provided, including (1) an external device, configured for placement outside of a body of a subject and to sense a factor of the subject, and to generate a signal in response to the sensed factor, and (2) an implant, which comprises a wireless receiver for receiving the signal, and at least one electrode, the implant configured to drive the electrode to apply current to an aortic and/or vagal site of the subject in response to the signal. | 05-16-2013 |
20110137370 | THORACIC AORTA AND VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION - Apparatus and methods are provided, including an electrode that is placed in contact with an artery of a subject. A control unit drives the electrode to perform a function with respect to the artery, the function selected from the group consisting of: driving a current into the artery, and sensing an electrical parameter of the artery. A transmitter is placed in a vein of the subject that is in a vicinity of the artery, the transmitter being wiredly connected to the control unit. The control unit is configured to drive the electrode by wirelessly transmitting a signal via the transmitter. Other embodiments are also described. | 06-09-2011 |
20100305392 | THORACIC AORTA AND VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION - Apparatus and methods are described including identifying a subject as suffering from a condition selected from the group consisting of congestive heart failure, diastolic heart failure, and hypertension. In response to the identifying, an electrode is placed on a vagus nerve of the subject at a vagal site that is between (a) a vagal bifurcation with a thoracic cardiac branch of the subject, and (b) thoracic vagal branching into the esophageal plexus of the subject. The subject is treated by driving a current into the vagal site, via the electrode. Other embodiments are also described. | 12-02-2010 |
20090198308 | INTRA-AORTIC ELECTRICAL COUNTERPULSATION - In some embodiments of the present invention, apparatus is provided, including a sensing electrode configured to be implanted at a non-cardiac site in a vicinity of an aorta of a subject and to detect an electrical parameter of the aorta, and a control unit configured to receive the detected parameter and to generate an output in response to the detected parameter. Additional embodiments are also described. | 08-06-2009 |
