GAS DISCHARGE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR APPLYING THIS APPARATUS TO CARDIO-VASCULAR PUMPING IN ORDER TO MECHANICALLY ASSIST THE HEART

摘要

The apparatus and method according to the present invention makes it possible to mechanically assist the pumping action of the human heart, which is obtained by means of an external evacuation means, such as for example a pump, connected to a device 10A which can be introduced into the wall 25 of the heart or aorta of a patient and which serves to evacuate gases from the heart by exceeding them, thereby improving the functions of the brain and the lungs in the form of a loop closed thanks to the increased pumping capacity of the human heart.
