Abstract:
1. A system for reducing pulsatile pressure comprising: a reservoir structured to be implanted subcutaneously, said reservoir for holding a fluid therewithin; an injection port in fluid communication with the reservoir; a compliant body structured to be implanted in the lumen of a vessel, said compliant body including at least one compliant body lumen, said compliant body structured for expansion and compression upon changes in pressure in the vessel; and a transvascular conduit extending between and fluidly coupling the reservoir and said at least one compliant body lumen, wherein said transvascular conduit includes a plurality of lumens, each of said lumens in fluid communication with said injection port and an interior of said compliant body, wherein at least one of said plurality of lumens has a hydrophilic coating and at least a second of said plurality of lumens has a hydrophobic coating such that an absorbed and condensed water vapor that enters the lumen with the hydrophilic coating condenses, and wherein said compression of the compliant body results in a reduction in peak pressure in the vessel.
