  • Patent number: 12290440
    Abstract: An assembly for reshaping a cardiac ventricle in a patient comprising an implantable device for reshaping a ventricle comprising a tether, a non-implantable tool which is detachably connectable to said implantable device and has a proximal portion and a distal portion opposite to said proximal portion; the implantable device further comprises an active anchor adapted to be detachably connected to the distal portion of the tool; the active anchor comprises an abutment portion adapted to abut against a structure of the ventricle; the active anchor of the implantable device comprises an adjustment device adapted to adjust the tensional state of the tether; the distal portion of the tool comprises an adjustment key adapted to cooperate with the adjustment device of the active anchor; the proximal portion of the tool comprises a maneuvering interface which is operatively connectable to said adjustment key for adjusting the tensional state of the tether by acting on the maneuvering interface of the proximal portion

  • Patent number: 12171662
    Abstract: An implantable assembly adapted for reshaping a cardiac chamber of a heart in a patient is disclosed. The assembly is implanted by a tool having a tool proximal portion and a distal portion. The assembly includes an active anchor including an abutment portion adapted to abut against a wall of the chamber of the heart and a tether portion rotatably coupled to the abutment portion. Each of the abutment portion and the tether portion configured to independently couple with a tool. The assembly further includes an interventricular septal anchor for coupling to a septum of the heart and a tether having a working portion having a first length, extending between the active anchor and the septal anchor, and a tether proximal portion having a second length. The abutment portion is releasably locked to the tether portion and configured such that a preselected torque applied to the tether portion of the active anchor unlocks and causes a relative rotation of the tether portion with respect to the abutment portion.
