PERCUTANEOUS LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE AND NON-INVASIVE METHOD FOR IMPLANTING SAME

摘要

A ventricular assist device for a mammalian heart is disclosed that includes an aortic lumen member, the aortic member communicating with the interior of the aorta, an indwelling pump mechanism and a cardiac lumen member. The cardiac lumen member has at least one lumen tube that is connected to at least one intraventricular clamp that is connected to the inter chamber septum when the ventricular assist device is in the use position and is connected to at least one vertical septal clamp, the ventricular septal clamp is connected to the exterior facing myocardial tissue when the ventricular assist device is in the use position and at least a portion of the cardiac lumen tube extends through one of the cardiac chambers and a portion of the cardiac lumen extends from the ventricular septal clamp to the indwelling pump mechanism.
