摘要
An adaptive heart binding device and method for the treatment of heart failure. The device has a non-distendible jacket to prevent the heart from expanding beyond a preselect volume. A first chamber corresponding the right ventricle and a second chamber corresponding to the left ventricle are located between the heart and the jacket. The first and second chamber can be inflated to exert additional pressure on the heart over time without additional surgery. The gradual pressure increase hemodynamically remodels the heart so that is performs more like a non-diseased heart. The binding device can be used as a bridge to or in place of heart transplant.
