Abstract
A vascular constricting device for constricting vascular lumens to regulate blood flow in a vascular system includes a cuff having an inflatable body and a frame adapted for wrapping round a vascular lumen, such as a native blood vessel or non-native graft, and a pump having an internal reservoir for doling a fluid and a fluid circuit for controlling the flow of fluid between the reservoir and the inflatable body for selectively inflating and deflating the inflatable body. In a hemodialysis treatment, the vascular constricting device is actuated to inflate the inflatable body to restrict blood flow and lower blood flow rate during off-treatment periods, and is actuated to deflate the inflatable body to permit an unrestricted blood flow and a higher blood flow rate during on-treatment periods.
