See full text

A method for treating a disease of the heart such as congestive heart failure includes forming an access opening from a heart chamber into a pericardial space defined between an epicardial surface of the heart and a pericardium opposing the epicardial surface. A cardiac support member is deployed into said pericardial space through said access opening with said cardiac support member selected to engage an epicardial surface of said heart and relieve a wall tension of said heart.
