A heartburn and reflux disease treatment apparatus comprises a restriction device (56) implantable in a patient for engaging the stomach close to the cardia or, which is preferred, engaging the esophagus (58) to form a restricted food passageway in the stomach or esophagus. The restriction device is operable by an implantable operation device (60) to change the restriction of the food passageway. A control device (62 and 64) is provided for controlling a source of energy, which may or may not be implanted, from outside the patient's body, to release energy for use in connection with the operation of the restriction device, i.e. to power the operation device.

L'invention concerne un appareil de traitement de la maladie de relux et d'aigreurs, qui comprend un dispositif de restriction (56) implantable dans le corps d'un patient pour placer l'estomac à proximité du cardia ou, de préférence, entrer au contact de l'oesophage (58) afin de former un passage alimentaire restreint dans l'estomac ou l'oesophage. Le dispositif de restriction est commandé par un dispositif d'actionnement implantable (60) pour modifier la restriction du passage alimentaire. Un dispositif de commande (62, 64) commande une source d'énergie, qui peut être implanté ou non, de l'extérieur du corps du patient, pour libérer l'énergie à utiliser en rapport avec l'actionnement du dispositif de restriction, c'est-à-dire pour alimenter le dispositif d'actionnement.
