"Systems And Methods For Treating Pulmonary Edema" in Patent Application Approval Process (USPTO 20240424181).

A patent application by inventors from Israel proposes new methods and systems for treating pulmonary edema, a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs. The proposed method involves implanting a catheter in a vein to create a low-pressure zone that enhances the clearance of lymphatic fluid. This innovative approach aims to address the limitations of current treatments, such as diuretics and vasodilators, by providing a more rapid and effective solution for managing pulmonary edema. The system includes catheters with selectively deployable restrictions and pressure sensors to monitor and adjust the treatment process. [Extracted from the article]
