摘要：
Partitioning device for separating a patient’s heart chamber into aproductive portion and a non-productive portion. The device is particularlysuitable for treating patients with congestive heart failure. The partitioningdevice has a frame-reinforced (13), expandable membrane (11) which separatesthe productive and non-productive portions of the heart chamber. The proximalends of the ribs (16) of the frame have tissue penetrating elements (21) aboutthe periphery thereof which are configured to penetrate tissue lining the heartwall at an angle approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the partitioningdevice. The partitioning device has a hub (12) with a non-traumatic distal endto engage the ventricular wall.
