Venous Flow Modulation

In table 5A0, Physiological Systems Assistance, qualifier value E Blood Flow Modulator, was added to body system value 2 Cardiac, duration value 2 Continuous, and function value 1 Output, to capture continuous cardiac output assistance with a blood flow modulating device.Body System Duration Function Qualifier 2 Cardiac 2 Continuous 1 Output E Blood Flow Modulator Blood flow modulating devices, like the Doraya™ device, target volume overload in patients with acute heart failure who are resistant to diuretic medications. An adjustable nitinol frame mounted at the distal end of a catheter is inserted into the inferior vena cava below...
