A device, including an implant for placement within a hollow body organ.
The implant includes a member having an undeployed shape for delivery
within a hollow body and one or more deployed shapes for implantation
therein. The member 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 includes a means for changing the deployed shape of the
member while implanted within the hollow body. The device includes a
wearable element configured to be worn by a patient, and has an external
device coupled thereto and configured to send and/or receive a wireless
signal to control the means for changing the deployed shape.
