Cardiac Anchor Structures, Methods, And Systems For Treatment Of Congestive Heart Failure And Other Conditions

US Patent:
8425402, Apr 23, 2013
Filed:
Jul 21, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/506661
Inventors:
Lon S. Annest - New York NY, US
Claudio Argento - Los Gatos CA, US
William Butler - San Ramon CA, US
Ernest Heflin - Pleasanton CA, US
Assignee:
BioVentrix, Inc. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/00
US Classification:
600 37
Abstract:
Medical devices, systems, and methods reduce the distance between two points in tissue, often for treatment of congestive heart failure and often in a minimally invasive manner. An anchor is inserted along an insertion path through a first wall of the heart. An arm of the anchor is deployed and rotationally positioned according to a desired alignment. Application of tension to the anchor may draw the first and second walls of the heart into contact along a desired contour so as to effect a desired change in the geometry of the heart. Additional anchors may be inserted and aligned with the first anchor to close off a portion of a ventricle such that the ventricle is geometrically remodeled and disease progression is reversed, halted, and/or slowed.

Trans-Catheter Ventricular Reconstruction Structures, Methods, And Systems For Treatment Of Congestive Heart Failure And Other Conditions

US Patent:
2013009, Apr 11, 2013
Filed:
Sep 30, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/632104
Inventors:
Lon Annest - New York NY, US
Murray Sheldon - Martinez CA, US
Ernie Heflin - Pleasanton CA, US
Andrew Wechsler - Philadelphia PA, US
John Stiggelbout - Sausalito CA, US
Rovil Arcia - Fremont CA, US
Jonh Bower - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
BIOVENTRIX, INC. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606213
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein include devices, systems, and methods for reducing the distance between two locations in tissue. In one embodiment, an anchor may reside within the right ventricle in engagement with the septum. A tension member may extend from that anchor through the septum and an exterior wall of the left ventricle to a second anchor disposed along a surface of the heart. Perforating the exterior wall and the septum from an epicardial approach can provide control over the reshaping of the ventricular chamber. Guiding deployment of the implant from along the epicardial access path and another access path into and through the right ventricle provides control over the movement of the anchor within the ventricle. The joined epicardial pathway and right atrial pathway allows the tension member to be advanced into the heart through the right atrium and pulled into engagement along the epicardial access path.

Steerable Lesion Excluding Heart Implants For Congestive Heart Failure

US Patent:
8394008, Mar 12, 2013
Filed:
Jul 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/846777
Inventors:
Lon S. Annest - Tacoma WA, US
Arthur A. Bertolero - Danville CA, US
David K. Swanson - Campbell CA, US
Assignee:
Bioventrix, Inc. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
A61N 1/362
US Classification:
600 16
Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods for treating a heart of a patient may make use of one or more implant structures which limit a size of a chamber of the heart, such as by deploying a tensile member to bring a wall of the heart toward (optionally into contact with) a septum of the heart.

System And Method For Sizing A Heart For Treating Congestive Heart Failure

US Patent:
2006024, Nov 2, 2006
Filed:
Apr 27, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/116692
Inventors:
Lon Annest - Tacoma WA, US
Rob O'Reilly - Lafayette CA, US
Arthur Bertolero - Danville CA, US
International Classification:
A61M 1/10
US Classification:
623003100, 600037000
Abstract:
A device for use in reconstructing the left ventricle of the heart from a diseased state to an appropriate reconstructed state is disclosed. The device includes a sizer which has a flat first surface and an apex. The apex is connected to a generally cylindrical central section, and said central section is connected to the first surface. The central section and the first surface of the sizer are configured so that when the first surface is located abutting the base of the left ventricle the central section is located at the location of the interior of the appropriate reconstructed left ventricle.

Cardiac Implant Migration Inhibiting Systems

US Patent:
2013009, Apr 11, 2013
Filed:
Sep 30, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/632106
Inventors:
Kevin Van Bladel - San Ramon CA, US
Ernie Heflin - Pleasanton CA, US
Lon Annest - New York NY, US
Rovil Arcia - Fremont CA, US
John Bower - Livermore CA, US
Assignee:
BIOVENTRIX, INC. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606151
Abstract:
Medical devices, systems, and methods reduce the distance between two locations in tissue, often for treatment of congestive heart failure. In one embodiment an anchor of an implant system may reside within the right ventricle in engagement with the ventricular septum. A tension member may extend from that anchor through the septum and an exterior wall of the left ventricle to a second anchor disposed along an epicardial surface. Deployment of the anchor within the right ventricle may be performed by inserting a guidewire through the septal wall into the right ventricle. The anchor may be inserted into the right ventricle over the guidewire and through a lumen of a catheter. An anchor force may be applied within a desired range to secure the anchors about the septum and epicardial surface. The anchor force may inhibit migration of the anchors relative to the septum and epicardial surface.
