Left ventricular apex occluder. Description of a Ventricular Partitioning Device.
Description Implant device and delivery system. The Ventricular Partitioning Device (VPD) is an intraventricular Implant that is deployed in the Left Ventricle (LV) in patients with regional wall motion abnormalities following myocardial infarction (MI). The implant device is delivered via a guiding catheter and delivery system introduced percutaneously from the femoral artery by the standard t...
متن کاملSurgical considerations for the explantation of the Parachute left ventricular partitioning device and the implantation of the HeartMate II left ventricular assist device.
Chronic heart failure is the leading cause of death in the world. With newer therapies, the burden of this disease has decreased; however, a significant number of patients remain refractive to existing therapies. Myocardial infarction often leads to ventricular remodeling and eventually contributes to heart failure. The Parachute™ (Cardiokinetix, Menlo Park, CA) is the first device designed for...
متن کاملMulti-modality imaging of a left atrial myxoma
Objectives Although echocardiography has traditionally been used to diagnose myxoma, invasive or non-invasive coronary angiography can be useful diagnostic tool before surgery. Methods We present a case of an angiographically detected left atrial myxoma feeding from the left circumflex coronary artery. Results The patient underwent open-heart surgery to remove the left atrial myxoma. After ...
متن کاملPercutaneous Ventricular Restoration Using the Parachute Device: The Parachute III Pressure- Volume Loop Sub-study
Background: Left ventricular (LV) dilatation and remodeling following acute myocardial infarction increases wall stress, ventricular volumes and leads to heart failure (HF), which is associated with a high mortality. Percutaneous ventricular restoration (pVR) therapy reduces LV volumes leading to a more effective ejection. This study investigated the hemodynamic effects of LV volume reduction f...
