SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCORING THE LEFT VENTRICULAR ENDOCARDIUM TO INCREASE LEFT VENTRICULAR COMPLIANCE

摘要

In some embodiments, a system for scoring human endocardium tissue may include a first conduit and an activation system. The first conduit may include a first opening, a second opening, and a cutting device. The first opening may be positioned at a proximal end of the first conduit. The second opening may extend from adjacent to a closed distal end portion of the first conduit. The cutting device, when activated, may cut through a portion of a depth of endocardium tissue positioned adjacent the second opening. The cutting device may selectively cut or score the endocardium to a specified depth and length in the endocardium of a left ventricle of a human heart.
