Abstract: A medical apparatus positionable in a cavity of a bodily organ (e.g., a heart) may constrict a bodily orifice (e.g., a mitral valve). The medical apparatus may include tissue anchors that are implanted in the annulus of the orifice. The tissue anchors may be guided into position by an intravascularly or percutaneously deployed anchor guiding frame. Constriction of the orifice may be accomplished by cinching a flexible cable attached to implanted tissue anchors. The medical device may be used to approximate the septal and lateral (clinically referred to as anterior and posterior) annulus of the mitral valve in order to move the posterior leaflet anteriorly and the anterior leaflet posteriorly and thereby improve leaflet coaptation and eliminate mitral regurgitation.

Abstract: To reduce X-ray exposure, an area of interest is selected in the image. The image of the selected area is updated frequently, comparable to rate of updates used today for the whole image. The rest of the image is updated at a significantly lower rate. Since the area of interest normally is a small part of the overall area, the total exposure is reduced significantly. A movable X-ray shield placed near the X-ray source blocks the radiation from areas outside the area of interest. The shield automatically retracts when the complete image is updated. The area of interest can be selected by the user or automatically selected based on activity in the image.

Abstract translation: 为了减少X射线曝光，图像中选择感兴趣区域。 所选区域的图像经常更新，与整个图像当前使用的更新速率相当。 图像的其余部分以显着较低的速率更新。 由于感兴趣的区域通常是整个区域的一小部分，因此总体暴露量显着降低。 放置在X射线源附近的可移动的X射线屏蔽物阻挡来自感兴趣区域外的区域的辐射。 完整的图像更新后，屏幕会自动缩回。 感兴趣区域可以由用户选择或根据图像中的活动自动选择。

Abstract: A device positionable in a cavity of a bodily organ (e.g., a heart) may discriminate between fluid (e.g., blood) and non-fluid tissue (e.g., wall of heart) to provide information or a mapping indicative of a position and/or orientation of the device in the cavity. Discrimination may be based on flow, or some other characteristic, for example electrical permittivity or force. The device may selectively ablate portions of the non-fluid tissue based on the information or mapping. The device may detect characteristics (e.g., electrical potentials) indicative of whether ablation was successful. The device may include a plurality of transducers, intravascularly guided in an unexpanded configuration and positioned proximate the non-fluid tissue in an expanded configuration. Expansion mechanism may include helical member(s) or inflatable member(s).

Abstract: Retractable parallels are mounted in slots cut into the jaws of a machine vice. When parallels are retracted the vice is similar to a regular vice. When parallels are in the extended position, they are used to support the workpiece is a similar manner to traditional parallels. Multiple sets of retractable parallels can be used at different elevations. Parallels extend automatically by spring pressure and retract by pressure from workpiece or other objects

Abstract: An elastic structure is introduced percutaneously into the left ventricle and attached to the walls of the ventricle. Over time the structure bonds firmly to the walls via scar tissue formation. The structure helps the ventricle expand and fill with blood during the diastolic period while having little affect on systolic performance. The structure also strengthens the ventricular walls and limits the effects of congestive heart failure, as the maximum expansion of the support structure is limited by flexible or elastic members.

Abstract: Making the volume of the arterial system increase elastically with blood pressure reduces high systolic blood pressure peaks. This volumetric elasticity is achieved by the action of a spring controlling the aortic cross-section thus controlling the aortic volume. The spring can be implanted percutaneously. The device is powered by the blood pressure itself and requires no other energy source or control circuits. The device can have an open structure or a sealed-wall structure, the latter also serve to protect against aortic aneurism. Non-linear volumetric elasticity can be used to assist the heart.
