The present invention relates to the treatment of a congestive heart failure patient, and more particularly, to a device for partitioning the ventricles of a patient. According to the present invention, provided is a ventricular partitioning device comprising a bag which can be inflated from a folded state, enabling a cannula to pass therethrough, to an inflated state, enabling the ventricles of a patient to be partitioned to an operating portion and a non-operating portion; an inflating wire coupled to the inner surface of the bag so a sto transform the bag from the folded state to the inflated state; and support means fixed at the center of the bag, extending to a ventricular wall, and installed at the ventricular wall. The ventricular partitioning device according to the present invention may partition ventricles into an operating portion and a non-operating portion to reduce the volume of the ventricles and stresses being applied to the ventricles. Thus, the ventricular partitioning device according to the present invention may increase the ejection fraction of the heart of a congestive heart failure patient. |
