METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT SURGICAL CORRECTION OF CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE WITH OBSTRUCTIVELY INJURED OUTLET AREA OF THE RIGHT HEART VENTRICLE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves implanting dilating patch form xenopericardium. Diaphragmatic flap taken from the right vault of the diaphragm on nervous vascular limb is sutured over the patch. Myocardial stimulation of the flap is carried out in the elelectrocardiogram-synchronous mode. Flap containing large branch or stem along the right diaphragmatic nerve with accompanying inferior diaphragmatic artery and veins is cut in a manner that muscular fibers of the flap were mainly arranged in perpendicular to the blood circulation direction in the discharge area of the right heart ventricle. Implantable myocardiostimulation device is applied to synchronize contraction frequency of the muscular flap with heart beat rate. EFFECT: wider range of applications.
