    摘要: Disclosed are various configurations of electrodes with accompanying extensions and wires configured to be attached at or near the left atrium of a heart to allow the device to be held snug against the endocardium and out of the blood flow for low energy defibrillation of the atria in response to atrial fibrillation or other atrial arrhythmias. The portion of the lead internal to the atrium (e.g., the left atrium) is restrained against the endocardium of the left atrium by way of a restraint mechanism. In one example, the electrode is configured to attach to the atrial septum, with wires containing memory-shaped metal to keep the wires against the heart wall. In yet another example, the electrode is configured to be part of a mitral valve device.

    摘要: A method for using a surgical device for joining two blood vessels and creating a passageway therebetween is provided. The surgical device has an implement on the distal end which includes a first member and a second member. The first member is inserted into a first opening of a first blood vessel, such as a graft vessel. The second member is inserted into a second opening of a second blood vessel, such as the coronary artery. The surgical device is activated to draw together the first and second members, bringing together the first and second blood vessels. A work portion of the surgical device is actuated to perform a function, which comprises joining the blood vessels together with at least two joining lines and creating a longitudinal cut between the joining lines. The first and second members of the surgical device are then removed, and the first and second openings are closed.

    摘要: A user interface for a graphical application tool is disclosed. A graphical application tool is a software program, such as a computer-aided design (CAD) tool, a spreadsheet package, or a graphics drawing package, that graphically provides a user with a set of commands, tools and icons, which a user can graphically manipulate to generate, modify or analyze a work product in a work space area. The graphical application tool includes a graphical user interface (GUI) to provide users with a repositionable menu of available commands, tools and icons. The menu provides access to the commands, tools and device offerings without interfering with the user's work space area. In the illustrative computer-aided design (CAD) tool embodiment, the menu preferably provides a user with access to core and custom commands and circuit component offerings. Core commands presented in a core command section of the menu are preferably context-determined so that commands appropriate to the current operating mode of the graphical application tool are presented. Circuit component offerings presented in the device offering section of the menu are preferably technology-determined so that device offerings appropriate to the specified technology are presented. In other words, when the graphical application tool is initiated, the user is preferably queried for the type of technology the user will be designing with.
