CIRCULATION MANAGEMENT THROUGH BLOOD VESSEL REMODELING

Abstract: a method of increasing compliance in a blood vessel involves accessing a target site in a blood vessel using a transcatheter access path, deploying a stent at the target site in the blood vessel, reshaping the blood vessel to an axially-bent configuration of the blood vessel by causing the stent to assume a biased, axially-bent configuration of the stent within the blood vessel, thereby pushing blood through the blood vessel, and reshaping the blood vessel to a relatively-straight configuration of the blood vessel using pressure forces of blood disposed within the blood vessel.
