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).
