    摘要: Implantable medical devices adapted to modify fluid flow within a body vessel are provided herein. The medical devices may include a fluid flow restricting channel configured to reduce longitudinal fluid flow in a retrograde direction or in an antegrade direction. Preferably, the medical devices are flow-modifying devices that reduce fluid flow through the medical device to a greater extent in a retrograde direction than in an antegrade direction. Methods of treatment comprising the step of implanting a flow-modifying medical device within a body vessel are also provided. Flow-modifying devices are useful, for example, in treating venous valve related conditions.
