A method for direct therapeutic treatment of myocardial tissue in a i localized region of a heart having a pathological condition. The method includes identifying a target region of the myocardium and applying material directly and substantially only to at least a portion of the myocardial tissue of the target region, through transseptal delivery. The material applied results in a physically modification the mechanical properties, including stiffness, of said tissue. Various devices and modes of practicing the method are disclosed for stiffening, restraining and constraining myocardial tissue for the treatment of conditions including myocardial infarction or mitral valve regurgitation. The novel treatment may be combined with prior art diagnostic and therapeutic techniques employing transseptal delivery methods.

La présente invention concerne une méthode de traitement thérapeutique direct du tissu myocardique dans une région localisée du coeur présentant un état pathologique. La méthode consiste à identifier une région cible du myocarde et à appliquer, par voie transseptale, de la matière directement et sensiblement uniquement sur au moins une partie du tissu myocardique de la région cible. La matière appliquée produit une modification physique des propriétés mécaniques, y compris la rigidité, dudit tissu. Divers dispositifs et modes de mise en oeuvre de la méthode sont présentés pour renforcer, retenir et limiter le tissu myocardique afin de traiter des conditions telles que l'infarctus du myocarde ou la régurgitation mitrale. Le nouveau traitement peut être combiné avec les techniques de diagnostic et de thérapie de l'art antérieur utilisant des méthodes d'apport par voie transseptale.
