Abstract:
Methods of preventing, treating, and/or controlling a hemorrhage in an organ of a patient include providing electrical stimulation to the arteries, veins, nerves innervating the arteries or veins, or walls of the organ. The apparatus has at least one electrode operably connected to a stimulus generator and placed in electrical communication with an artery, vein, nerve, or organ wall. An electrical stimulus generator causes an electrical stimulus to be administered to the artery, vein, nerve, or wall through the at least one electrode, where the electrical stimulus is effective for preventing, treating, and/or controlling a hemorrhage.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of treating a gastrointestinal condition in a subject, the method comprising:\n providing a stimulus generator; providing at least two electrodes which are configured to operably connect to said stimulus generator; instructing a person to place a first of the at least two electrodes in direct physical contact with a first target in the subject, said first target comprising a portion of a hepatic artery of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject, instructing a person to place a second of the at least two electrodes in electrical communication with a second target in the subject, said second target comprising one or more of the following: an artery of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject, a vein of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject, a nerve supplying an artery of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject, and a nerve supplying a vein of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject; and instructing a person to cause the stimulus generator to generate an electrical stimulus administered to the first and second target through the at least two electrodes, wherein the electrical stimulus is effective to change a flow of blood into the subject's gastrointestinal tract through the portion of a hepatic artery.
