Cardiac assist system with cell transplantation aspects
Abstract:
A ventricular assist system includes a controller supplying a DC voltage or an AC voltage, and electromagnets adapted to be adhered to an infarct portion of a heart at the time of embedding a pump. After embedding the system, cells enclosed in capsules are released into the surroundings of the infarct portion by use of a catheter. The capsules are magnetic so that they can be concentrated onto the infarct portion by magnetic fields of the electromagnets, and are broken in the vicinity of the infarct portion, whereby cells effective for regeneration of cardiac muscles can be conveyed to the infarct portion in a noninvasive manner after the embedding of the ventricular assist system.
