  • MODULATION OF TARGETED NERVE FIBERS
    Publication number: 20240325079
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, systems, devices and methods for modulating targeted nerve fibers (e.g., hepatic neuromodulation) are provided. The systems may be configured to access tortuous anatomy of or adjacent hepatic vasculature. The systems may be configured to target nerves within a wall of (e.g., within adventitia surrounding a lumen of) an artery or other blood vessel, such as the common hepatic artery.

  • Neuromodulation for metabolic conditions or syndromes
    Patent number: 12029466
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method of treating a subject having diabetes or symptoms associated with diabetes is provided. The method includes delivering a neuromodulation catheter within a vessel (e.g., hepatic artery) having surrounding nerves that innervate the liver (e.g., sympathetic nerves of the hepatic plexus). The method may also include modulating (e.g., disrupting, ablating, stimulating) the nerves by mechanical compression, energy delivery, or fluid delivery.
