Method and systems for separating a first material, e.g. cholesterol or fat, from lymphatic fluid flowing through a duct (26) within the body of a living being (22), so that the material is removed from the being's body (22) or recirculated. The system includes a filter (36) for separating that material, and an elongated conduit (34) implanted within the vascular system (24) and having a distal end (34A) in fluid communication with the duct (26) and a proximal end (34B) in fluid communication with the filter (36). An implantable pump (42) may be provided to enhance the operation of the system.
L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de séparer une première substance, par exemple du cholestérol ou de la graisse, de la lymphe coulant dans un vaisseau (26) du corps d'un être vivant (22), de manière à extraire cette substance dudit corps (22) ou à la mettre en recirculation. Le système comprend un filtre (36) destiné à séparer la substance précitée et un conduit allongé (34) implanté dans le système vasculaire (24), lequel conduit est pourvu d'une extrémité distale (34A) en communication fluidique avec le vaisseau (26) et d'une extrémité proximale (34B) en communication fluidique avec le filtre (36). L'invention peut comprendre une pompe implantable (42) permettant un meilleur fonctionnement du système.
