Patent number: 9649487Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described including a mechanical support element that is placed inside a first vein of a subject. At least one electrode disposed on the mechanical support element is placed inside the first vein, in a vicinity of a site upstream of a bifurcation with a second vein of the subject. A control unit enhances downstream blood flow from the first vein by driving the at least one electrode to divert blood downstream into the second vein by constricting the first vein at the upstream site, by driving the at least one electrode to apply a current to the vicinity of the site. The mechanical support element prevents the first vein from collapsing by providing mechanical support to the vein. Other embodiments are also described.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: ENOPACE BIOMEDICAL LTD.Inventors: Yossi Gross, Amir Dagan, Yotam Reisner, Offer Glasberg, Nitai Hanani, Gal Ariav

Patent number: 9526637Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for use with a blood vessel of a subject, including a stent (20) configured to be placed in the blood vessel. The stent includes at least first (32), second (34), and third (36) strut portions disposed along the stent. The first and second strut portions are coupled to one another at a first junction (37A) that facilitates bending of the first and second strut portions with respect to one another. The second and third strut portions are coupled to one another at a second junction (37B) that facilitates bending of the second and third strut portions with respect to one another. At least one electrode (22) is disposed on at least an outer surface of the stent. Other applications are also described.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2012Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Enopace Biomedical Ltd.Inventors: Amir Dagan, Moshe Elazar, Nitai Hanani, Gal Ariav, Oded Meiri, Igor Gindin, Vadim Bernshtein, Nir Armony, Yossi Gross, Offer Glasberg

Publication number: 20140324142Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described including an electrode device (30) that is configured to assume a coiled configuration when the device is in an unconstrained state, the electrode device being shaped to define a lumen (40). At least one electrode (21) is disposed on the electrode device. At least one electrical wire (32) is coupled to the electrode. A flexible lead (34) defines a lumen (42) therethrough, the electrical wire being housed inside the lead. A stylet (36) constrains the electrode device into a straightened configuration by being inserted into the lumen defined by the electrode device. The stylet additionally stiffens the flexible lead by being inserted into the lumen defined by the flexible lead. Other applications are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2012Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventors: Amir Dagan, Offer Glasberg, Yotam Reisner, Gal Ariav, Nitai Hanani
