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 8):
A method of treating a gastrointestinal condition in a subject, the method comprising:\n providing an apparatus comprising at least two electrodes operably connected to a stimulus generator; placing a first of the at least two electrodes in direct physical contact with a first target comprising a portion of a hepatic artery of the gastrointestinal vasculature of the subject; placing a second of the at least two electrodes in electrical communication with a 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 causing 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.
