Abstract:
Apparatus and methods to reduce ventricular volume are disclosed. The device takes the form of a transventricular anchor, which presses a portion of the ventricular wall inward, thereby reducing the available volume of the ventricle. The anchor is deployed using a curved introducer that may be inserted into one ventricle, through the septum and into the opposite ventricle. Barbs or protrusions along the anchor body combined with a mechanical stop and a sealing member hold the device in place once deployed.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for performing ventricular reconstruction of a heart, the method comprising:\n an elongate body that is configured for insertion into the heart; a distal anchor that is configured for delivery through the elongate body into a right ventricle of the heart; a tension member that is coupled with the distal anchor and that is configured for delivery through the elongate body with the distal anchor; and a proximal anchor that is coupleable with the tension member and that is configured to move distally along the tension member toward the distal anchor and configured to prevent proximal movement along the tension member away from the distal anchor; wherein:\n the distal anchor is configured to engage a septum of the heart; and \n the proximal anchor is configured to engage an exterior wall of the heart to enable the septum and exterior wall to be urged together into engagement.
