Patent number: 11793629Abstract: A device, a kit and a method are presented for permanently augmenting the pump function of the left heart. The basis for the presented innovation is an augmentation of the physiologically up and down movement of the mitral valve during each heart cycle. By means of catheter technique, minimal surgery, or open-heart surgery implants are inserted into the left ventricle, the mitral valve annulus, the left atrium and adjacent tissue in order to augment the natural up and down movement of the mitral valve and thereby increasing the left ventricular diastolic filling and the piston effect of the closed mitral valve when moving towards the apex of said heart in systole and/or away from said apex in diastole.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Syntach AGInventor: Jan Otto Solem

Publication number: 20230118531Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the use of small particles, such as micro particles or nanoparticles, to produce a therapeutic scar such as “trans-mural” scarring or other desired “deep tissue” scarring. In one preferred embodiment, these particles can be delivered to a target location by an implant. More specifically, these particles can be incorporated into the structure of implants or into the coatings on implants. In another preferred embodiment, these small particles can be delivered directly with a catheter by electrophoresis or hydraulic pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: Syntach AGInventors: Zhihao Yang, Richard Cornelius, Paige Hastings, Bodo Quint, Gerd Siebold, Ib Erling Joergensen, Stevan Nielsen

Publication number: 20210052386Abstract: A device, a kit and a method is presented for permanently augmenting the pump function of the left heart. The mitral valve plane is assisted in a movement along the left ventricular long axis during each heart cycle. The very close relationship between the coronary sinus and the mitral valve is used by various embodiments of a medical device providing this assisted movement. By means of catheter technique an implant is inserted into the coronary sinus, the device is augmenting the up and down movement of the mitral valve and thereby increasing the left ventricular diastolic filling when moving upwards and the piston effect of the closed mitral valve when moving downwards.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2020Publication date: February 25, 2021Applicant: Syntach AGInventor: Jan Otto Solem
