Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Devices, systems, and methods for treating a heart of a patient may make use of structures which limit a size of a chamber of the heart, such as by deploying one or more tensile member to bring a wall of the heart and a septum of the heart into contact. A plurality of tension members may help exclude scar tissue and provide a more effective remaining ventricle chamber. The implant may be deployed during beating of the heart, often in a minimally invasive or less-invasive manner. Trauma to the tissues of the heart may be inhibited by selectively approximating tissues while a pressure within the heart is temporarily reduced. Three-dimensional implant locating devices and systems facilitate beneficial heart chamber volumetric shape remodeling.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a diseased heart, the method comprising: reducing, in a first cross-section, a first size of a chamber of a heart by decreasing a distance between a first anchor location and a second anchor location, the anchor locations disposed near edges of a diseased tissue bordering the chamber; determining, for a second cross-section, a second reduction in size of the chamber, the second reduction in size being determined in response to: an of…
