An implantable device is for dynamically occluding a blood vessel is described. The implantable device may include an annular frame having a lumen extending therethrough. A sealing element can be disposed at least along an exterior of the frame. The sealing member may take the form of a polymeric covering. An actuation member is provided for altering a diameter of the frame to modulate the flow of blood through the lumen. The actuation member may be adapted to alter the diameter of the frame based on a signal from a processor. The processor can receive a signal from a pressure sensor. A power source may be provided for actuating the actuation element.
