CA 2554595

A differential pressure regulating device is provided for controlling in-vivo pressure in a body, and in particularly in a heart. The device may include a shunt being positioned between two or more lumens in a body, to enable fluids to flow between the lumens, and an adjustable flow regulation mechanism being configured to selectively cover an opening of the shunt, to regulate the flow of fluid through the shunt in relation to a pressure difference between the body lumens. In some embodiments a control mechanism coupled to the adjustable flow regulation mechanism may be provided, to remotely activate the adjustable flow regulation mechanism.

La présente invention a trait à un dispositif de contrôle de la pression différentielle pour le contrôle de la pression in vivo dans un organisme, et notamment dans un coeur. Le dispositif peut comprendre une dérivation positionnée entre au moins deux lumières dans un organisme, pour permettre la circulation de fluides entre les lumières, et un mécanisme de régulation de circulation réglable étant agencé pour la couverture sélective d'une ouverture de la dérivation, pour la régulation de la circulation de fluide à travers la dérivation par rapport à une pression différentielle entre les lumières. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un mécanisme de commande relié au mécanisme de régulation de circulation réglable peut être prévu, pour l'activation à distance du mécanisme de régulation de circulation réglable.
