BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION SYSTEM FOR THE TREATMENT OF NEUROLOGIC INJURIES

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods for reducing blood pressure variability in a patient. The system includes an endovascular catheter having an expandable element and one or more blood pressure sensors, and a computer/processing unit configured to receive blood pressure measurements and determine a blood pressure variability metric. Upon determining that the blood pressure variability metric exceeds a given blood pressure variability threshold or falls outside a predefined range, the computer/processing unit directs a catheter controller to adjust the size of the expandable element of the catheter, thereby modulating blood pressure and reducing blood pressure variability.
