DEVICE FOR SURGICALLY TREATING ISCHEMIC AND DILATATION CARDIOMYOPATHY

摘要

FIELD: medical engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: device has extracardial ventricular meshed envelope of anatomical shape manufactured from biocompatible flexible material. Titanium nickelide-based alloy is selected as the biocompatible flexible material. The meshed envelope structure is formed with jersey fabric texture from titanium nickelide fiber of 15-150 mcm diameter with mean mesh size of 4.5-5.5 mm. Meshed envelope volume is 8-12% as small as the volume of hear covered over myocardium surface in diastolic ventricle cycle phase. ^ EFFECT: prolonged service life; enhanced effectiveness in holding heart dilatation. ^ 4 dwg, 1 tbl
