Abstract: A surgically enlarging method of microcaulia by which length and circumference of micropenis are simultaneously enlarged and expanded without incurring any deformation or side effect thereto, enabling the microcaulia patients to overcome the physical defect, shame and inferiority complex and thereby providing them with increased sexual self confidence.
Abstract: Methods are provided for use in open surgical and transluminal methods for supplying long-term retrograde perfusion of the myocardium via a conduit disposed between the left ventricle and the coronary sinus. In a first method, an opening is formed between the left ventricle and the coronary sinus, and the coronary ostium is partially occluded using a stent that prevents the pressure in the coronary sinus from exceeding a predetermined value. In an alternative method, a first end of a conduit is inserted transeptally through the right atrium and obliquely into the posterior septal endocardium of the left ventricle via the posterior pyramidal space, while a second end of the conduit is inserted into the coronary sinus via the coronary ostium. A pressure-limiting valve is included in the conduit. In either method, the outlet from the left ventricle to the coronary sinus may include a one-way valve to prevent backflow from the coronary sinus into the left ventricle during cardiac diastole.
