Baroreceptors • Baroreceptors are stretch-sensitive fibers in the aortic arch and carotid sinus • Baroreceptors measure changes in blood pressure-induced strain in arterial walls
The Baroreflex
The Carotid Sinus Baroreflex Baroreceptors load : Afferent signaling : Inhibition : Sympathetic outflow : BP
Mobius. HD™: Baroreceptor Modulation 1. Mobius. HD is a passive implant designed to reshape the carotid sinus, delivered using standard percutaneous techniques and angiographic visualization 2. Mobius. HD is designed to exert just enough radial force on the vessel to reshape it in the diastolic phase, and prevent migration in the systolic phase 3. Reshaping the vessel increases the differential strain, and therefore the stretch, measured by the baroreceptors with every pulsatile wave, concentrated within the windows of the device
The Mobius. HD Implant Size Indicated Vessel Diameter A 5 – 7 mm B 6. 25 – 9 mm C 8 – 11. 75 mm
The Mobius. HD Delivery System § Monorail 6 Fr catheter with recapture capability at partial deployment to allow for repositioning § 8 F guide catheter / 6 F sheath § 0. 014” guidewire § Compatible with distal embolic protection, if required
Mobius. HD implant placement Mobius. HD is placed in the carotid sinus with the windows of device against baroreceptor bed
