20120059355METHODS OF MODIFYING MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION EXPANSION - A reinforcement region is formed within the myocardium by introducing a delivery device through a vessel wall to a treatment site within a myocardium. A biomaterial is then delivered to the treatment site as the delivery device is withdrawn from the treatment site to form the reinforcement regions. Formation of the reinforcement region may further include introducing a delivery device through a vessel wall to a region within a myocardium such that the delivery device is positioned within the myocardium substantially parallel to a wall of the myocardium. A biomaterial may be delivered into a space formed within the region by the delivery device. The reinforcement region may be formed around an infarct tissue region of a myocardium to reinforce the damaged tissue.03-08-2012
20120237477METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING POST-MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION DAMAGE - Methods and compositions for treating post-myocardial infarction damage are herein disclosed. In some embodiments, a carrier with a treatment agent may be fabricated. The carrier can be formulated from a bioerodable, sustained-release substance. The resultant loaded carrier may then be suspended in at least one component of a two-component matrix system for simultaneous delivery to a post-myocardial infarction treatment area.09-20-2012

20110238384ADVANCING LAYER SURFACE GRID GENERATION - A method of generating a grid on a surface comprises the steps of forming a layer curve along the surface, forming a plurality of points along the layer curve and extending a tangent vector from each one of the most recently formed points. The method may further comprise forming a set of additional points on the surface at a step distance from corresponding ones of the most recently formed points. The set of additional points may be interconnected to form an additional layer curve. The set of additional points may be connected with the corresponding ones of the most recently formed points to form a layer of quadrilateral faces wherein each one of the faces comprises a column. The growth of a column may be terminated upon an aspect ratio of the face in the column exceeding a predetermined value. The steps of extending tangent vectors, forming the set of additional points and forming an additional layer curve may be iteratively repeated until each one of the columns is terminated.09-29-2011
