WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/008019

A3

Apparatus for delivering an electrical signal to the heart comprising: a first electrode configured to electrically couple to a cardiac signal generator for stimulating heart muscle; a second electrode configured to be implanted in a region of the heart muscle on an antegrade side of a cardiac valve; and a bridging member configured to be mounted to the annulus of the cardiac valve and electrically connect the first and second electrodes. A myocardial helical connector for delivering an electrical signal to the heart, comprising: a magnetized socket plug contact configured to electrically couple to an electrical signal generator and to receive a signal therefrom; a helical contact electrically connected to said socket plug contact and configured to be screwed into cardiac tissue; and a bridging member that electrically connects the socket plug contact to the helical contact. A cardiac culvert configured to be implanted in cardiac tissue, comprising: a tube having first and second ends and a wall having internal and external surfaces wherein the internal surface defines a lumen having an opening at each of the first and second ends; and at least one feature on the external surface configured to anchor the tube in cardiac tissue in which the culvert is implanted. Apparatus for performing a procedure in a heart, the apparatus comprising: an anchor configured to be inserted into a chamber of the heart and controlled to anchor to a feature of the chamber; and an implementer configured to be inserted into the heart chamber to perform a procedure in a target region of the heart and to be constrained by a location of the feature to which the anchor is attached.
