Abstract:
A subcutaneously implantable device includes a housing and an anchoring mechanism attached to the housing that is configured to anchor the device to a muscle, a bone, and/or a first tissue. The device further includes a first prong with a proximal end attached to the housing and a distal end extending away from the housing that is configured to be positioned adjacent to a first blood vessel, and a first electrode on the distal end of the first prong that is configured to be positioned adjacent to the first blood vessel. Circuitry in the housing is in electrical communication with the first electrode that is configured to deliver electrical stimulation using the electrode to create an electric field around the blood vessel.
