ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to the treatment of volume deficiency disorders of body structures and related syndromes, and more particularly to devices that deliver fluid at a controlled pressure into a balloon situated within or adjacent a body cavity to effect tissue expansion. The invention also provides methods for expanding volumetrically deficient structures. Methods of delivering fluid at a controlled pressure into an inflatable balloon are also disclosed.
