  • Publication number: 20150359590
    Abstract: An example of an implantable neuromodulation device includes a bioabsorbable electrode and an elongate bioabsorbable support structure carrying the electrode. The support structure is configured to expand in a direction perpendicular to its length so as to move the electrode into contact with a wall of a naturally occurring lumen of a human patient. The electrode is electrically activatable to modulate a nerve within tissue at or otherwise proximate to the wall of the lumen. An example of a neuromodulation method using the neuromodulation device includes locating the neuromodulation device at a treatment site within the lumen and deploying the neuromodulation device into an expanded treatment state at the treatment site. The method further includes reducing obstruction of blood flow through the lumen after deploying the neuromodulation device and then wirelessly energizing the electrode from an extracorporeal energy source.
