INTRAVASKULÄRER FLUSSRESTRIKTOR

摘要

An intravascular flow restrictor comprises a braided tubular structure designed to be placed in the main pulmonary artery for limiting blood pressure in the lungs. The braided structure is designed to be collapsed for placement in a delivery catheter but when ejected from the delivery catheter, assumes a substantially larger diameter disk shaped device having one or more longitudinal channels or passways therethrough.
