An implant for placement within a hollow body organ, the implant includes
a distension device having an undeployed shape for delivery within a
hollow body and one or more deployed shapes for implantation therein. The
device has sufficient rigidity in its deployed shape to exert an outward
force against an interior of the hollow body so as to bring together two
substantially opposing surfaces of the hollow body. The implant further
includes an implantable pump in fluid communication with the distension
device and having a plurality of actuators configured to change the shape
of the distension device upon the application of energy thereto such that
sequential activation of the plurality of actuators is effective to
create pumping action to move fluid through the pump.
