Abstract
This document describes devices and methods for the treatment of heart conditions. For example, this document describes intraventricular implantable devices for treating heart failure. Such implantable devices offer the ability to augment cardiac function and allow potential myocardial recovery.
Claims20
An intraventricular implantable device configured to augment cardiac function, the device comprising a framework comprising:
- multiple elongate fabric elements arranged in a conical shape that defines a central longitudinal axis, the multiple elongate fabric elements including multiple longitudinally-extending fabric elements extending toward an apex of the conical shape;
- and
- multiple Nitinol attachment barbs extending from the multiple elongate fabric elements,
- wherein the framework is sized to reside against an inner wall of a ventricle of a human heart, and wherein the multiple Nitinol attachment barbs extend through openings at strip-to-strip intersections of the multiple elongate fabric elements.
