Described herein are methods for maintaining a patent ductus arteriosus in a pediatric patient. The method includes deploying a first end of a self-expanding stent at a first end of a lumen defined by a ductus arteriosus; anchoring at least a portion of a first flange of the first end of the stent such that the first flange at least partially circumferentially covers one of: a pulmonary artery ostium or an aortic ostium; deploying a second end of the stent, such that a stent body covers an entire length of the lumen defined by the ductus arteriosus; and anchoring a least a portion of a second flange of the second end of the stent such that the second flange at least partially circumferentially covers the other of the pulmonary artery ostium or the aortic ostium. The methods described herein may be used to increase pulmonary dependent circulation or systemic circulation.

A system for synchronizing one or more breast-pumping sessions of an individual (such as a mother) and milk consumption by a second individual (such as a baby or infant) is described. In particular, based on measurements of a volume of the collected milk as a function of time and received information specifying milk consumption by the second individual as a function of time, a control circuit may determine a need for milk. Then, the control circuit may provide feedback based on the determined need for milk that synchronizes the one or more breast-pumping sessions and the milk consumption. For example, the feedback may alert the individual to initiate a breast-pumping session and/or may provide a signal to a breast pump that initiates a breast-pumping session.
