    摘要: An apparatus for stimulating revascularization of myocardium tissue in the ventricular wall of a human heart is disclosed. The apparatus includes means for moving the distal end of an optical fiber element forwardly through the epicardium of the heart and into the myocardium and emitting relatively low power bursts of laser energy from the distal end to form stimulus injury zones that promote capillary growth and tissue revascularization. Each penetration of the optical fiber element may produce multiple stimulus zones spaced radially from or in line with the axis of the optical fiber element. Apparatus for moving the optical fiber element and controlling the laser emissions in a predetermined manner is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method of selecting laser parameters for performing laser-assisted myocardial revascularization to avoid inducing undesired cardiac arrhythmia without synchronization of delivery of laser energy and the patient's cardiac cycle, the method comprising the steps of minimizing the power level of laser energy used, thereby decreasing the overall trauma to the heart, selecting a pulse frequency as great as possible while avoiding adverse summation effects, selecting a pulse width as wide as possible to prevent excessively high peak powers per pulse and not so wide as to cause undesired thermal damage, selecting an energy flux rate, shaping the front end of each pulse of laser energy to provide efficient, non-explosive TMR channeling, and correcting the selected power level, pulse width, pulse frequency and energy flux rate for mechanical events, including method of access to the heart, position of selected portions of myocardium in the heart, temporal duration of the procedure, natural movement of the heart, specific heart geometry, pre-existing heart arrhythmia and other factors causing a predisposition to heart arrhythmia. A method for performing laser-assisted transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) and percutaneous transluminal myocardial revascularization (PTMR) using such laser energy with parameters selected to avoid inducing undesired cardiac arrhythmia, the method comprising the steps of generating laser energy having a predetermined non-square wave shape, a predetermined wavelength, a predetermined energy flux and a predetermined power level, and delivering the laser energy in a plurality of pulses, the plurality of pulses having a predetermined pulse frequency and a predetermined pulse width, to selected portions of myocardium to form TMR and PTMR channels without synchronizing delivery of the laser beam with the cardiac cycle.

    摘要: A heart stabilizer and suture control device for stabilizing the heart and for occluding a preselected portion of coronary artery by developing a downward force on the heart and simultaneously developing an upward force across a coronary artery in a predetermined position. The device has at least two stabilization pads, the stabilization pads each having an operative size and shape, and each having a first end and a second end and a lower contacting surface. The second ends have suture retaining grooves, and the stabilization pad has a suture locking means for securing the distal end of a suture means thereto. The device also comprises a linking member locking the two stabilization pads an operative distance apart. The device has suture means with a proximal end coupled to the linking member and extending from the first end to the suture retaining groove of the second end, the suture means having a distal end which can be locked to the stabilization pad with the suture locking means thereon. The device also has means for rotating the linking member such that when operatively positioned adjacent a coronary artery to be occluded with the suture threaded between the coronary artery and the remaining portion of the heart muscle, rotating the linking member will cause the proximal end of the suture means to be wound onto the linking member and thus tighten the suture between the first end and the second end of each stabilization pad and urge the coronary artery against the contacting surface, thereby causing occlusion of the coronary artery as desired.

    摘要: The apparatus for combined mechanical/laser myocardial revascularization of a human heart includes: inserting a mechanical piercing device and an elongated flexible lasing apparatus into the chest cavity of a patient; mechanically auto-piercing, micro-tearing or spreading the epicardium of the heart; and then lasing from beneath the epicardium through the myocardium. The apparatus is guided to an area exterior to a ventricle of the patient's heart, and the distal end of the energy delivery device such as an optical fiber apparatus is placed internal to the exterior wall of the heart through an opening which has been created by mechanically piercing, micro-tearing or spreading the epicardium, so that the myocardium and not the epicardium is irradiated with laser energy to allow passage of said energy delivery device such as an optical fiber distal end or said laser energy into the left ventricular cavity without causing a laser irradiation of the epicardium which might be a cause of operative bleeding and for better allowing the sealing of the epicardium after the apparatus is removed. The apparatus includes a hand-held device controllable by the physician having a removable distal head portion with an auto-piercing mechanism and can use a vacuum source to provide a suction force at the head portion. The auto-piercing mechanism is implemented by various ways such as a spring-biased actuating member in the TMR hand-held device and an electro-mechanical operated piercing mechanism. The hand-held TMR device with handle assembly can also be controlled by a computer to provide auto- sequencing of the auto-piercing needle mechanism and the laser firing with auto-fiber advancement.
