  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING PULSATILE PRESSURE
    Publication number: 20130245665
    Abstract: A device for reducing pressure within a lumen includes a reservoir structured for holding a fluid therein, an injection port in fluid communication with the reservoir, a compliant body structured to expand and contract upon changes in pressure, and a conduit extending between and fluidly coupling the reservoir and the compliant body. The fluid may be a compressible or a noncom pressible fluid.
