    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are related to devices and methods for modulating renal function, amongst other things. In an embodiment, the invention includes an implantable occlusive device including a wall member defining an enclosed volume, the wall member can include a semi-permeable membrane. The device can also include a solution comprising a solvent and a solute disposed within the enclosed volume of the wall member. The semi-permeable membrane can be permeable to the solvent and impermeable to the solute. The enclosed volume can be configured to expand and contract in response to changes in the osmolality of a bodily fluid. The device can include a positioning member configured to maintain the position of the implantable occlusive device relative to a lengthwise axis of a lymphatic vessel. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of modulating renal function in a patient including implanting an occlusive device in the patient, the occlusive device comprising a semi-permeable membrane and configured to expand or contract based on the passage of a fluid across the semi-permeable membrane. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are related to monitoring devices and methods with osmometric sensors, amongst other things. In an embodiment, an implantable heart failure monitoring system includes an implantable osmometric sensor configured to generate a signal corresponding to osmotic strength of a bodily fluid. The osmometric sensor includes a rigid wall member defining an enclosed volume resisting deformation, the rigid wall member comprising a semi-permeable membrane. The sensor also includes a signaling element comprising a first side, a second side, and a plurality of dimples configured to resist deformation until a threshold differential exists between the first and second sides. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.

    摘要: Cardioprotective pacing is applied to prevent and/or reduce cardiac injury associated with cardiac catheterization or surgery. Pacing pulses are generated from a pacemaker and delivered through one or more pacing electrodes incorporated onto one or more devices used in the cardiac catheterization or surgery. The pacemaker controls the delivery of the pacing pulses by executing a cardioprotective pacing protocol. In one embodiment, the one or more pacing electrodes are incorporated onto an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter. In another embodiment, the one or more pacing electrodes are incorporated onto one or more cardiac surgical instruments such as a heart stabilizer and a sternal retractor.
