Noninvasive angioplasty using momentary vacuum therapy (MVT) is applied to
treat erectile dysfunction, peripheral artery disease, and deep vein
thrombosis. MVT is a noninvasive angioplasty technique which momentarily
increases blood pressure to flatten arterial plaque and increase arterial
elasticity for peripheral artery disease and deep vein thrombosis. The
workload on the heart will be reduced by the flattening of plaque and the
increase in elasticity of the peripheral arteries. The reduction in
workload may be a treatment for congestive heart failure (heart failure).
For treating erectile dysfunction, MVT increases the elasticity of penile
arteries but does not flatten penile plaque; when treating erectile
dysfunction with MVT, only an increase in arterial elasticity is
required.
