DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLED SUPPORT OF MITRAL VALVE MIGRATION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61F2/24 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to cardiology. A device for intensifying intracardiac blood circulation in a patient's heart configured to intensify the intracardiac blood circulation in the patient's heart by a continuous support of the left ventricular pumping action, comprises the first fixing unit implanted into the cardiac vessel of the above heart along the mitral valve, such as the venous cardiac vessel containing the coronary sinus, the great cardiac vein, an anterior interventricular vein or a branch thereof. An effort generation unit is configured to be connected to the first fixing unit. The effort generation unit is configured to generate an effort for supporting the above left ventricular pumping action depending on the cardiac cycle. When implanted, the first fixing unit perceives the above effort so that to provide the supported migration of the cardiac vessel, and thereby of the above mitral valve in the plane of the mitral valve towards and/or from the above heart apex. There are disclosed a kit for improving or intensifying the pumping action, a method for delivering the device for intracardiac blood circulation, a method for intensifying the intracardiac blood circulation, a computer-readable data carrier for implementing the method.

EFFECT: technical effect consists in supporting the left ventricular function by the minimally invasive implantation.
