Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of making aortic counter pulsation cardiac assist devices for assisting cardiac function of a patient. The methods can comprise performing at least one medical imaging procedure on an aorta of the patient, selecting at least one active segment of the aortic counter pulsation cardiac assist device based on anatomic information resulting from the at least one medical imaging procedure, and assembling the at least one active segment to accommodate the anatomic information prior to surgical implantation. The methods can further comprise designing individual custom active segment modules to custom fit a patient, providing a series of different individual, pre-manufactured active segment modules that are assembled to custom fit the patient, or providing a range of stock segment configurations manufactured based on previously determined common configurations and selecting one for a particular patient.
