    摘要: Described are devices and methods for treating degenerative, congestive heart disease and related valvular dysfunction. Percutaneous and minimally invasive surgical tensioning structures offer devices that mitigate changes in the ventricular structure (i.e., remodeling) and deterioration of global left ventricular performance related to tissue damage precipitating from ischemia, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or other abnormalities. These tensioning structures can be implanted within various major coronary blood-carrying conduit structures (arteries, veins and branching vessels), into or through myocardium, or into engagement with other anatomic structures that impact cardiac output to provide tensile support to the heart muscle wall which resists diastolic filling pressure while simultaneously providing a compressive force to the muscle wall to limit, compensate or provide therapeutic treatment for congestive heart failure and/or to reverse the remodeling that produces an enlarged heart.

    摘要: Devices and methods for treating degenerative, congestive heart disease and related dysfunction are described. Passive and active cardiac support structures mitigate changes in ventricular structure (i.e., remodeling) and deterioration of global left ventricular performance related to tissue damage precipitating from ischemia, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or other abnormalities. Cardiac efficiency is improved by providing reinforcement that restores or maintains an elliptical ventricular shape and mimics the position and positive inotropic effects of helical wound myofibrils to provide active contraction of the ventricle in synchrony with the metabolically required cardiac pace or output. In addition, the cardiac support structures compensate or provide therapeutic treatment for congestive heart failure and/or reverse the remodeling that produces an enlarged heart. The structures may be implanted in target heart regions using less invasive surgical techniques, such as those involving port access or small incisions into the thoracic cavity.

    摘要: Apparatus for delivering a sleeve into a puncture through tissue includes a tubular sheath including a lumen extending between its proximal end and an opening in its distal end. The sleeve includes a hub on a first end thereof disposed adjacent the distal end of the sheath, and a second end extending into the opening and lumen of the sheath. The hub is slidable along an exterior of the sheath for drawing the sleeve out of the opening and along an exterior of the sheath. During use, a guide wire is placed through the puncture into a blood vessel, and sealing compound is introduced into the puncture around the guide wire. The sheath is advanced into the puncture over the guidewire while maintaining the hub adjacent the patient's skin, causing the sleeve to be deployed from the sheath and line the puncture as the sheath is advanced into the puncture.

    摘要: A disc harrow composed of one or more disc gangs has a subframe coupled to the disc gangs to move the disc gangs in response to variations in farmland terrain to limit the impact of obstructions when encountered during the harrowing process. When the obstruction is cleared, the subframe automatically returns the disc gangs to their pre-obstruction position. In addition to reducing the potentially-damaging impact of obstructions, the subframe also maintains a more consistent reel depth during undulations or changes in the farmland terrain, such as during harrowing of slopes or unleveled fields such as valleys, near waterways, and along fence rows.
