ABSTRACT:
A fixation section and a rim form a myocardial patch for implant in the pericardial space. The fixation section is adapted to promote fibrosis to secure the patch in place. The rim is secured to and surrounds at least a portion of the fixation section and has a lumen. The patch is adapted to transition between a collapsed state and an expanded state. A stylet is passed through the lumen to force the patch into a collapsed state and is removed when the patch is positioned to allow the patch to expand and engage the epicardial surface.
