Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device for inducing weight loss in a patient includes a tubular prosthesis self-expandable from a collapsed position in which the prosthesis has a first diameter to an expanded position in which the prosthesis has a second, larger, diameter. In a method for inducing weight loss, the prosthesis is placed in the collapsed position and inserted into a stomach of a patient. The prosthesis is allowed to self-expand from the collapsed position to the expanded position and into contact with the walls of the stomach, where it induces feelings of satiety and/or inhibits modulation of satiety-controlling factors such as Ghrelin.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
It is claimed: 1. A device for implantation in a patient having an esophagus, a gastro-esophageal junction, a stomach, and an intestine, comprising: a gastro-esophageal junction prosthesis extending from an upstream opening at an upstream end to a downstream opening at a downstream end, wherein the upstream end is configured to be attached within the gastro-esophageal junction; a gastric bypass sleeve including an intestinal portion, the sleeve extending from a proximal opening…
