Peter Danilo has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Creation of a biological atrioventricular bypass to compensate for atrioventricular block
    Patent number: 8435509
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of creating an atrioventricular bypass tract for a heart comprising growing mesenchymal stem cells into a strip with two ends, and attaching one end of the strip onto the atrium of the heart, and attaching the other end of the strip to the ventricle of the heart. By this attachment, a tract is created that connects the atrium to the ventricle to provide a path for electrical signals generated by the sinus node to propagate across the tract and excite the ventricle.

  • Biological bypass bridge with sodium channels, calcium channels and/or potassium channels to compensate for conduction block in the heart
    Publication number: 20070053886
    Abstract: This invention provides a bypass bridge comprising a tract of gap junction-coupled cells having a first end and a second end, both ends capable of being attached to two selected sites in a heart so as to allow the conduction of a pacemaker and/or electrical signal/current across the tract between the two sites, wherein the cells functionally express a sodium channel. The invention also provides related methods of making the bypass bridge, methods of implanting same in a heart, and methods of treating a disorder associated with an impaired conduction in a subject's heart.
