Abstract
In an embodiment herein, an aortopulmonary stimulation method is provided including positioning at least one aortic electrode in or near the aorta, and using the at least one aortic electrode, to deliver stimulation to the aorta to decrease aortic after load.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- a first electrode sleeve array comprising a sleeve body and at least one aortic electrode, the method comprising inserting a first end of the sleeve body around the aorta and pulmonary trunk through a transverse pericardial sinus to position the at least one aortic electrode in or near the aorta, and affixing the first end of the sleeve body to a second end of the sleeve body, such that the sleeve body encircles the aorta and the pulmonary artery;
- initiating an electrical stimulation via a smart device communicatingly connected to the first electrode sleeve array to deliver electrical stimulation to the array;
- wherein an electrical stimulation delivered to the first electrode sleeve array causes electrical stimulation via the at least one aortic electrode to the aorta to decrease aortic after load.
An aortopulmonary stimulation device, comprising:
- a first electrode sleeve array comprising a sleeve body and at least one aortic electrode;
- the sleeve body comprises a first end and a second end, the sleeve body configured for inserting around the aorta and pulmonary trunk through a transverse pericardial sinus to position the at least one aortic electrode in or near the aorta, said first end of the sleeve body configured for affixing to the second end of the sleeve body;
- one or more leads associated with the electrode sleeve array for delivering electrical stimulation thereto;
- a control unit for associating with the one or more leads for controlling the electrical stimulation;
- wherein an electrical stimulation delivered to the first electrode sleeve array causes electrical stimulation via the at least one aortic electrode to the aorta to decrease aortic after load.
