1. A method for treating ischaemic tissue comprising cutting the tissue to form a wound;
- providing a sponge-like element, the element being structured to receive blood and to comply with the movement of the tissue; and
locating the element in the wound and in contact with a source of blood whereby the element receives blood from the source of blood to thereby promote tissue growth and angiogenesis throughout and beyond the element.

61. A method for treating myocardial infarction comprising:
-
cutting ventricular or septal cardiac tissue to form a wound;
providing a sponge-like element, the element being structured to receive blood and to comply with the movement of the tissue; and
locating the element in the wound and in contact with a source of blood whereby the element receives blood from the source of blood to thereby promote tissue growth and angiogenesis throughout and beyond the element.

62. A method for promoting or stimulating angiogenesis in ischaemic tissue comprising:
-
cutting non-ischaemic tissue that is adjacent ischaemic tissue to form a wound;
providing a sponge-like element, the element being structured to receive blood and to comply with the movement of the tissue; and
locating the element in the wound and in contact with a source of blood whereby the element receives blood from the source of blood to thereby promote tissue growth and angiogenesis throughout and beyond the element and into the ischaemic tissue.

64. A method for promoting or stimulating angiogenesis in ischaemic heart tissue comprising:
-
cutting ischaemic tissue to form a wound in communication with the ventricular cavity;
providing a sponge-like element, the element being structured to receive blood and to comply with the movement of the tissue; and
locating the element in the wound and in communication with the ventricular cavity whereby the element receives blood from the ventricular cavity to thereby promote tissue growth and angiogenesis throughout and beyond the element and into the ischaemic tissue.
