| 1. A method for repairing a heart of a human, the method comprising:
introducing a shaping device percutaneously into a vasculature of the human, wherein the shaping device is in an at least
partially collapsed state and is coupled to a patch,
delivering the shaping device and patch into a left ventricle through the vasculature,
positioning the shaping device such that the patch substantially aligns with at least a portion of non-viable tissue in the
heart,
expanding the shaping device to an expanded shape,
attaching the patch to at least a part of the heart such that the ventricle is restored to an appropriate size,
at least partially collapsing the shaping device, and
removing the shaping device from the left ventricle.
