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 15):
The system of  claim 14 , wherein the hollow bore is configured so that the distal anchor is deliverable through the hollow bore in an undeployed configuration with the tension member extending only on a proximal side of the distal anchor.
