For connecting a cardiac biventricular assist means including a dual-chamber pumping device, and an electrically powered compressor means provided between the two chambers ( 12, 15 ) a partially flexible one-part or multi-part adapter ( 20 ) is provided with two through-passageways ( 21, 22; 34, 35 ) each separate from the other, said adapter being securely held, on the one hand, in a port ( 4 a) in the apical portion of the septum ( 4 ) and, on the other, in a port ( 2 a) in/at the apex of the left ventricle ( 2 ) so that the through-passageway ( 22; 35 ) extending into the left ventricle ( 2 ) is connected directly or by means of a first flexible tube ( 11 ) to the inlet ( 12 a) of the one chamber ( 12 ) and the other through-passageway ( 21; 34 ) extending into said right ventricle ( 3 ) is connected directly or by means of a second flexible tube ( 14 ) to the inlet ( 15 a) of the other chamber ( 15 ). |
