Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an implantable device having a frame and a flow restrictor. The frame includes a central portion and an end portion on either end of the frame. The flow restrictor is disposed within a lumen of the frame. The flow restrictor is configured to transition between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration. The flow restrictor may include a porosity configured to reduce fluid flow through the flow restrictor without completely occluding fluid flow.
