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.

Devices and methods for reshaping blood vessels

Methods and devices are used to treat a dorsal vein to reduce blood flow in patients suffering from erectile dysfunction. For example, a clip may be advanced distally across the deep dorsal vein and an anchor on the clip deployed on a proximal side of the Tunica albuginea. The clip can then be pulled back and a distal anchor on the clip deployed to reduce a cross-sectional area of the deep dorsal vein and anchor the deep dorsal vein to the Tunica albuginea. Anchoring of the dorsal vein to the Tunica albuginea further reduces the cross-sectional area of the deep dorsal vein in response to expansion of the patient's corpora cavernosa.

Methods for embedding an implant in blood vessels

A system for dilating a stenosed vessel is provided. The system includes a balloon mounted on a catheter shaft, the balloon being composed of a first material and fibers forming a grid attached to a surface of the balloon or integrated within a wall thereof. The fibers are composed of a second material having less elasticity than the first material such that when the balloon is inflated beyond a predetermined pressure balloon regions protrude from the grid formed by the fibers.
