摘要:
#$%^&*AU2011213776B220130411.pdf#####ABSTRACT A system for improving cardiac function is provided. A foldable and expandable frame having at least one anchoring formation is attached to an 5 elongate manipulator and placed in a catheter tube while folded. The tube is inserted into a left ventricle of a heart where the frame is ejected from the tube and expands in the left ventricle. Movements of the elongate manipulator cause the anchor to penetrate the heart muscle and the elongate manipulator to release the frame. The installed frame minimizes the effects of an akinetic portion of the 10 heart forming an aneurysmic bulge.
