5. Heart Failure Treatment:
The PARACHUTE® Procedure
If you have heart failure, then the
PARACHUTE® Procedure may be
the right treatment option for you.
The procedure is a type of
percutaneous ventricular
restoration (PVR) therapy for
patients with left sided heart
failure.

6. How does the
procedure work?
The Parachute Procedure® uses a Parachute® implant, which is a
catheter based partitioning device placed within the left
ventricle. The implant partitions the damaged heart muscle and
restores normal volume, geometry and function to the heart’s
left ventricle and relieves patients of symptoms like shortness of
breath and exhaustion.
