Intraluminal pressure dampening and energy recoil device

An implantable device within a tubular or sac wall of a vessel in a human or animal body, comprising:

• a changeable volume portion adapted to interact with the vessel to modify the volume within the vessel;
• an energy storage means functioning with the changeable volume portion, whereby a decrease in the volume of the changeable volume portion creates a pressure or energy charge in the energy storage means, the pressure or energy charge being releasable to cause the changeable volume portion to increase in volume;
• axial balloons connected to a catheter tubing line;
• an implantable enclosure connected to the catheter tubing line using a trans-vascular access port, the implantable enclosure comprising a subcutaneous inflation and adjustment port and an additional balloon or dampening chambers to increase the device's dampening volume;
• at least one intraluminal balloon compressible and crimpable for deployment into a treatment vessel using an interventional access procedure via an adjoining vessel;
• wherein the at least one intraluminal balloon is configured to be unloaded and act intraluminally within the lumen of the vessel, and the at least one intraluminal balloon and additional balloon or dampening chambers are inflatable using the subcutaneous inflation and adjustment port;
• wherein when blood pressure in systole increases and travels through the vessel, a first balloon reduces its volume by compression of its media within, and higher systolic blood pressure allows this media to move downstream to connected balloons and/or chambers, reducing systolic blood pressure of the entire blood vessel system;
• and
• wherein as arterial pressure wave propagates and diastolic phase occurs, blood pressure reduces and the first balloon expands its volume by media expanding and volume moving back from attached balloons and chambers, causing dampened energy to be recoiled or released increasing blood vessel diastolic blood pressure.

A method of treating a vessel in a human or animal body, comprising:

• preparing a patient;
• identifying a site in the vessel requiring treatment;
• positioning an implantable device within a portion of tubular or sac wall of the vessel at the site, whereby load applied to the vessel is borne by the wall and the device, the vessel being assisted by the device when the wall and the device acts upon the load, the device comprising:
• an energy storage means which is charged with a pressure or energy charge by means of the load being applied to the device;
• axial balloons connected to a catheter tubing line;
• an implantable enclosure connected to the catheter tubing line using a trans-vascular access port, the implantable enclosure comprising a subcutaneous inflation and adjustment port and an additional balloon or dampening chambers;
• one, two, or three intraluminal balloons;
• deploying the intraluminal balloons in a crimped or collapsed state to the vessel treatment site where they are unloaded and act intraluminally within the lumen of the vessel;
• inflating the intraluminal balloons and additional balloon or dampening chambers using the subcutaneous inflation and adjustment port;
• wherein when blood pressure in systole increases and travels through the vessel, a first balloon reduces its volume by compression of its media within, and higher systolic blood pressure allows this media to move downstream to connected balloons and/or chambers, reducing systolic blood pressure of the entire blood vessel system;
• and
• wherein as arterial pressure wave propagates and diastolic phase occurs, blood pressure reduces and the first balloon expands its volume by media expanding and volume moving back from attached balloons and chambers, causing dampened energy to be recoiled or released increasing blood vessel diastolic blood pressure.
