ABSTRACT:
Pyloric valve corking devices and methods are described herein. The devices generally include an occluding member which expands from a first configuration to a larger second configuration and a bridging member extending from the occluding member. The bridging member has a length which passes at least partially through the gastric opening such that the occluding member obstructs the gastric opening, and wherein the length permits the occluding member to intermittently move relative to the gastric opening. A second occluding member may be attached to the distal end of the bridging member. The reduction in flow of gastric contents into the duodenum can be tightly regulated using a pump or valve. Otherwise, the flow can be passively regulated with the occluding device.
