Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a method for assisting breathing in a lung having damaged tissue are disclosed. The method may include inserting an implant containing a dilatant fluid into a pleural cavity of a patient to reduce an inhalation volume of the lung. Additional embodiments may include an implant configured to apply a force toward a portion of a lung. A controller may be coupled to the implant and configured to sense a biological event and control an amount of outwardly directed force applied by the implant to the lung in response to the biological event. Further, a method may include applying a force to an organ via an implant to expel material from the organ and adjusting the implant so as to transition between a first configuration and a second configuration. The implant may include at least one of an electro-active material and a pressure sensitive material.

Abstract: Methods and devices for treating a lung are disclosed. The method may include deploying a catheter into an airway of the lung, and discharging a media into the airway through the catheter. The media may be configured to increase elasticity of lung tissue in the vicinity of the airway or occlude the airway.
