20130102849 | DEPLOYMENT METHODS AND MECHANISMS FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE IMPLANTATION OF HEART CONTACTING CARDIAC DEVICES - The present invention provides methods, systems, kits, and devices that aid in the positioning of a direct cardiac compression device about the heart. | 04-25-2013 |
20120142996 | IMPLANTABLE DRIVER WITH NON-INVASIVE TRANSMURAL POWERING DEVICE FOR CARDIAC ASSIST AND COMBINED ASSIST AND SUPPORT DEVICES - The present invention an implantable, sub-cutaneous, bellows-like device with one plate proximal (or superficial) to the skin surface and the other plate distal (or deep) to the skin surface having a component of a pneumatic/hydrulic driver for an implantable medical device such as a cardiac assist, cardiac support, or combined cardiac assist and support device and inducible magnet material on the distal plate of the bellows that can be magnetically drawn towards the proximal plate by the action of a magnet outside the body to contract the bellows or pressurize the fluid in the bellows. | 06-07-2012 |
20090036730 | Device for Proactive Modulation of Cardiac Strain Patterns - A direct cardiac assist device which may aid in ventricular recovery. The device proactively modulates cardiac strain pattern to produce a contraction strain pattern that induces beneficial growth and remodeling of the myocardium or prevents or reduces apoptosis of the myocytes. The device may include an outer shell. membrane, or mesh and an inner membrane. The space between the outer member and the membrane may be filled with fluid that is pressurized during contraction. The device prescribes a beneficial strain pattern during heart contraction. This strain pattern does not invert the curvatures or grossly alter the curvatures of the heart and may assist in myocyte regrowth and healing of the failing heart. | 02-05-2009 |
