  • Endoventicular device for the treatment and correction of cardiomyopathies
    Patent number: 8622884
    Abstract: An endocardial heart function intervention device that optimizes the cardiac geometry in patients with heart failure. The device comprises one or more elastic elements sutured in place within a heart that will establish radial elasticity in a direction towards the inside of the ventricle and plastic deformation in a direction that is transversal to the ventricle and is configured to be adjusted axially and radially to and along a section of the endocardial wall while in a neutral rest condition and can thereafter expand to receive energy from the endocardial wall during the diastolic phase, to cede energy received to the endocardial wall during a systolic phase.

  • Intracardiac device for restoring the functional elasticity of the cardiac structures, holding tool for the intracardiac device, and method for implantation of the intracardiac device in the heart
    Patent number: 8337390
    Abstract: An intracardiac device for restoring the functional elasticity of the cardiac structures, in particular for the treatment of cardiomyopathies and or valvulopathies, by storing energy from the cardiac structures and ceding energy to the cardiac structures during the cardiac cycle, has an elongated shape, is at least partially wound in coils and is attachable to a cardiac structure; the coils are selected in material, number and dimension so as to allow an elastic elongation of the intracardiac device higher than 10% of the rest length of the intracardiac device and are exposed, in use, to the blood flow.
