A patch (300) may be used as part of a ventricular repair system in performing surgical ventricular restoratio. The patch (300) may allow a surgeon to reconstruct a ventricle into an appropriate shape while excluding a majority, if not all, of any akinetic tissue. The ventricle may be a left ventricle of a human heart. The patch (300) may be formed in substantially the same shape as the appropriate shape which a surgeon desires to reshape the ventricle. The patch (300) may be formed of a variety of biocompatible materials. The patch (300) may be formed from the material that flex/contract to response to stimuli.

L'invention concerne un dispositif, tel qu'une greffe en pièce, qui peut être utilisé dans un système de réparation ventriculaire dans le cadre de la restauration ventriculaire chirurgicale. Cette greffe en pièce peut permettre au chirurgien de reconstruire un ventricule en respectant la forme recherchée tout en supprimant une grande partie, voire la totalité, du tissu akinétique. Le ventricule peut être le ventricule droit du coeur humain. La greffe en pièce peut avoir sensiblement la même forme que celle que le chirurgien souhaite donner au ventricule. Par ailleurs, la greffe en pièce peut être composée d'une variété de matériaux biocompatibles. Elle peut être aussi composée de et/ou contenir des matériaux qui se replient/se contractent sous l'effet des stimuli.
