摘要： Partitioning devices that may be secured and sealed within a heart chamber for separating a patient's heart chamber into a productive portion and a non-productive portion are described herein. The partitioning devices described herein may include a membrane with a plurality of inflatable elements. The membrane may include a valve disposed in a central region of the membrane with a plurality of inflation channels extending radially from the valve. These devices may be secured within the heart chamber by sealing them to the wall of the heart chamber, for example, by inflating the plurality of inflatable elements on the periphery of the device. The non-productive portion may be filled with a material, including occlusive materials. Sealing and/or filling the non-productive portion formed by the devices described herein may help prevent leakage from the non-productive region.

摘要： Partitioning devices that may be secured and sealed within a heart chamber for separating a patient's heart chamber into a productive portion and a non-productive portion are described herein. The partitioning devices described herein may include a reinforced membrane with outwardly biased members. The reinforced membrane may have a central hub with a distally extending support stem with a plurality of feet which extend radially from a centerline axis and preferably have ends that are aligned in a common plane. These devices may be secured within the heart chamber by sealing them to the wall of the heart chamber, for example, by inflating an inflatable element on the periphery of the device. The non-productive portion may be filled with a material, including occlusive materials. Sealing and/or filling the non-productive portion formed by the devices described herein may help prevent leakage from the non-productive region.

摘要翻译： 本文描述了可以在心室内固定和密封以将患者的心室分离成生产部分和非生产性部分的分隔装置。 本文所述的分隔装置可以包括具有向外偏置构件的增强膜。 增强膜可以具有中心毂，其具有远端延伸的支撑杆，其具有从中心线轴线径向延伸的多个脚，并且优选地具有在公共平面中对准的端部。 这些装置可以通过将它们密封到心室的壁来固定在心脏腔室内，例如通过使装置的周边上的可充气元件膨胀。 非生产性部分可以填充材料，包括封闭材料。 密封和/或填充由本文所述的装置形成的非生产性部分可以有助于防止从非生产性区域泄漏。

摘要： A method and system of providing therapy to a patient's uterus. In some embodiments the method includes the steps of: inserting an access tool through a cervix and a cervical canal into the uterus; placing an expansion mechanism in contact with tissue within the uterus to move uterine tissue surfaces away from an opening in an access tool lumen; delivering vapor through the vapor delivery tool into the uterus; and condensing the vapor on tissue within the uterus. The system has an access tool adapted to be inserted through a human cervical canal to place an opening of an access tool lumen within a uterus when the access tool is inserted through the cervical canal; an expansion mechanism adapted to be advanced into the uterus to move uterine tissue surfaces away from the opening in the access tool lumen; and a vapor delivery mechanism adapted to deliver condensable vapor through the access tool to the uterus, the condensable vapor being adapted to condense within the uterus.
