Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device includes a constricting portion and an anchoring element. The anchoring element anchors the device to an inner wall of a blood vessel. The constricting portion extends from an inlet at a proximal end for receiving blood flow therethrough to at least one outlet at a distal end through which flow is expelled. The constricting portion includes a neck section and tapers from the inlet to the neck section. The tapering defines a space substantially surrounding the constricting portion in which flow expelled from the at least one outlet can freely flow.
