<p>A vascular graft prosthesis comprising a tubular member having a luminal wall defining a lumen and an inner luminal diameter; and means for non-invasively constricting at least a portion of the luminal wall to reduce the inner luminal diameter and reduce a volumetric flow rate through the tubular member at the site of implantation of the vascular graft prosthesis, and during normal operating conditions, the means for constricting being operable to therefore facilitate an increase in a volumetric flow rate through the target limb to treat various symptoms manifesting themselves as a result of the implanted graft prosthesis, such as those resulting from an arteriovenous graft access and indicative of Steal syndrome.</p> |
