Abstract: A medical device for anchoring a cardiac pump in an opening of a ventricular wall of a heart, including a connector to be fitted to the ventricular wall. The connector includes a connection flange and a support skirt. The skirt is to be placed outside the heart when the flange is joined to the ventricular wall. The connector defines a first opening for a part of the body of an insert to pass through. The insert is rigid and defines a second opening for the body of the pump to pass through. The insert includes a distal end that is to be placed inside the heart and a proximal end that is to be placed outside the heart when the insert is joined to the connector. At least one element locks/unlocks the insert in position with respect to the connector when the insert has been introduced into the connector.
