Abstract:
Veins and other blood vessels may be reshaped by introducing an implant through the vessel walls with anchors positioned on opposite sides of the wall. The anchors typically include an elongate body having coils or other anchors formed therein. The implants may be delivered percutaneously using a cannula which can hold the anchor externally or internally. The methods and devices are useful in treating a dorsal vein to reduce blood flow in patients suffering from erectile dysfunction.

Claim (Index 9):
An implant delivery system for inhibiting blood flow through a vein, said system comprising:\n a delivery cannula having an interior passageway and configured to penetrate opposite walls of the vein; an elastic elongate member consisting of a single wire-like body adapted to be received in a straightened configuration within the interior passageway of the cannula and having a distal end pre-shaped to assume an anchor configuration when released from the interior passageway of the cannula and a proximal end pre-shaped to assume an anchor configuration when released from the interior passageway of the cannula, wherein distal and proximal ends when in their anchor configurations are separated by a middle region which controls the distance between opposed walls of a vein when the implant is implanted in the vein with each anchor on an exterior surface of a wall of the vein.
