Abstract
Methods, medical systems, and devices for delivering platelet rich plasma, stem cells, exosomes or other extracellular vesicles, growth factors, neuregulins, hormones, extracellular matrix tissue or microvascular tissue fragments allograft, autograft, or xenograft, anti-inflammatories, steroids, and/or other whole, sectioned, particulated, micronized, or otherwise manipulated substances naturally occurring or synthetic that produce, promote, or enhance angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, promote healing, and/or otherwise reverse neuropathies or improve function of underlying tissues.
Claims6
A method for reversing neuropathies associated with a heart, the method comprising:
- advancing a piercing structure within a body of a patient and towards the heart;
- positioning the piercing structure adjacent to an interatrial septum of the heart and penetrating a right atrium of the heart with the piercing structure at a location adjacent to interatrial septum to access a cavity encapsulated by one or more pericardial reflections of the heart;
- and
- delivering a reinnervation material through the piercing structure to fill the cavity encapsulated by the one or more pericardial reflections.
