Zusammenfassung:	Medical device systems and methods for making and using medical device systems are disclosed. An example medical device system includes a control system having a processor and a pump, a first expandable member coupled to the processor and configured to be positioned in the superior vena cava. The system also includes a second expandable member coupled to the processor and configured to be positioned in the inferior vena cava. The system also includes a first sensing member designed to sense a first parameter. The system also includes a second sensing member designed to sense a second parameter. Additionally, the pump is designed to expand or contract the first expandable member, the second expandable member or both the first and the second expandable members based on a change in the first parameter, the second parameter or a change in both the first and the second parameters.
