Abstract
A surgical method for assisting cardiac function utilizes a pair of inflatable balloons initially in collapsed configurations. The balloons are inserted into an intrapericardial space about a patient's heart. One of the balloons is disposed about one portion of the patient's heart and the other of the balloons about another portion of the patient's heart. The method further includes differentially inflating the balloons in the intrapericardial space to differentially compress the one portion and the another portion of the patient's heart.
