ARTIFICIAL HEART

摘要

An artificial heart (1) comprises two deformable lateral ventricles (11, 12) and a central ventricle (10), arranged in such a way that:—the central ventricle (10) is connected to the first lateral ventricle (11) and to the second lateral ventricle (12) by means of a first and a second one-way valve (21, 22), respectively, mounted so as to be able to be crossed by a hydraulic flow (B) from the first lateral ventricle (11) to the central ventricle (10) and then to the second lateral ventricle (12), respectively,—the first lateral ventricle (11) is connected to an inlet opening (31) and to the first one-way valve (21) and—the second lateral ventricle (12) is connected to the second one-way valve (22) and to a second outlet opening (32),—a mechanical and/or hydraulic actuator for alternately:—expanding the central ventricle (10) and compressing the lateral ventricles (11, 12).—compressing the central ventricle (10) and expanding the lateral ventricles (11, 12).

1. An artificial heart comprising a first deformable lateral ventricle a central ventricle and a second deformable lateral ventricle said deformable ventricles being arranged in such a way that:
said central ventricle is connected to said first lateral ventricle and to said second lateral ventricle by means of a first one-way valve and a second one-way valve respectively, said first and second one-way valves being mounted so as to be able to be crossed by a hydraulic flow from said first lateral ventricle to said central ventricle and from said central ventricle to said second lateral ventricle respectively, said first lateral ventricle is connected to an inlet opening of said hydraulic flow and to said first one-way valve and said second lateral ventricle is connected to said second one-way valve and to a second outlet opening of said hydraulic flow,said artificial heart further comprising a mechanical and/or hydraulic actuator for alternately:
expanding said central ventricle and compressing said first lateral ventricle and second lateral ventricle for generating a first passage of, said hydraulic flow through said inlet and outlet openings, or compressing said central ventricle and expanding said first lateral ventricle and second lateral ventricle for generating a second passage of said hydraulic flow through said inlet and outlet openings.
