1. A method for accessing implantable components for treating pulmonary hypertension, the method comprising:
accessing an anchor implanted in an expanded, deployed state wherein the anchor contacts an inner wall of the pulmonary artery to anchor a balloon coupled to a conduit within the pulmonary artery, the balloon configured to be pressurized with a fluid such that the balloon transitions between an expanded state and a contracted state responsive to pressure change in the pulmonary artery, wherein the fluid moves towards a reservoir coupled to the conduit when the balloon transitions to the contracted state and the fluid moves towards the balloon to expand the balloon to the expanded state; and
removing the conduit and the balloon while the anchor remains in the pulmonary artery.
