Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An implantable device system for controlling the dimensions of internal anatomic passages corrects physiologic dysfunctions resulting from a structural lumen which is either too large or too small. Implantable devices are disclosed which employ various mechanisms for adjusting and maintaining the size of an orifice to which they are attached. Systems permit the implants to be implanted using minimally invasive procedures and permit final adjustments to the dimensions of the implants after the resumption of normal flow of anatomic fluids in situ.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A device for positioning an adjustable implant device having an adjustable dimension adjacent to target tissue, comprising: an implant holding element configured to releasably hold said adjustable implant device, said implant device having an adjustment member operative for adjusting the dimension of the implant device; a rotatable adjustment tool having a distal end and a proximal end; a tool holding element directly attached to the rotatable adju…
