Abstract

An apparatus for controlling a flow of fluid and/or other bodily matter in a lumen formed by a tissue wall of a patient's organ. The apparatus comprises an implantable constriction device for gently constricting at least one portion of the tissue wall to influence the flow in the lumen, the tissue wall portion extending between an upstream end and a downstream end of the wall portion with respect to the direction of the flow in the lumen, The apparatus further comprises a stimulation device for stimulating the tissue wall portion with electric pulses, and a control device for controlling the stimulation device to stimulate the wall portion, as the constriction device constricts the wall portion, to cause contraction of the wall portion to further influence the flow in the lumen, The control device is adapted to control at least one of the constriction and stimulation devices to affect the wall portion such that the fluid and/or other bodily matter is actively moved in the lumen,
