A medical implant () includes first and second ring members (), each including a resilient framework () having a generally cylindrical form. A tubular sleeve () is fixed to the first and second ring members so as to hold the ring members in mutual longitudinal alignment, thereby defining a lumen () passing through the ring members. A constricting element () is fit around the sleeve at a location intermediate the first and second ring members so as to reduce a diameter of the lumen at the location.

Vascular implant

A flow reducing implant for reducing blood flow in a blood vessel having a cross sectional dimension, the flow reducing implant comprising a hollow element adapted for placement in the blood vessel defining a flow passage therethrough, said flow passage comprising at least two sections, one with a larger diameter and one with a smaller diameter, wherein said smaller diameter is smaller than a cross section of the blood vessel. A plurality of tabs anchor, generally parallel to the blood vessel wall, are provided in some embodiments of the invention.

Methods for treating abnormal growths in the body using a flow reducing implant

A method for improving the tissue oxygenation of a subject by identifying diminished blood flow in a blood vessel and deploying a flow reducing implant in a blood vessel. The flow reducing implant comprises a hollow element adapted for placement in the blood vessel defining a flow passage therethrough, said flow passage comprising at least two sections, one with a larger diameter and one with a smaller diameter, wherein said smaller diameter is smaller than a cross section of the blood vessel.
