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 2):
The method of  claim 1  further comprising the steps of:\n providing a second electrode operably connected to a stimulus generator; \n placing the second electrode in electrical communication with a target comprising one or more of the following:\n an artery, other than the hepatic artery, of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject, \n a vein of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject, \n a nerve supplying an artery of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject, and \n a nerve supplying a vein of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject; and \n \n causing the stimulus generator to generate an electrical stimulus administered to the target through the second electrode, wherein the electrical stimulus is effective for treating the gastrointestinal condition.
