Abstract
Some systems and methods for treating heart tissue may include instruments for intermittently occluding the coronary sinus using a coronary sinus occlusion catheter device. In some embodiments, the coronary sinus occlusion catheter can be used before or during a coronary intervention procedure in which a blockage in a heart is repaired or removed.
Claims20
A system for treating heart muscle tissue, the system comprising:
- an occlusion catheter comprising a fluid lumen and an inflatable balloon device configured to occlude a portion of a coronary venous system when the inflatable balloon device is inflated with fluid via the fluid lumen;
- and
- a control system comprising a pressure signal input that receives a pressure signal indicative of a pressure in the coronary venous system and a control circuit that activates a pneumatic subsystem to inflate or deflate the inflatable balloon device of the occlusion catheter for intermittently occluding the portion of the coronary venous system,
- wherein the control system is programmed to activate the inflatable balloon device of the occlusion catheter to intermittently occlude the portion of the coronary venous system in a set of occlusion periods and release periods, the control system being programmed such that occlusion periods and the release periods are dependent at least in part on the pressure signal.
