Abstract: A ventricular assist device for a mammalian heart is disclosed that includes an aortic lumen member, the aortic member communicating with the interior of the aorta, an indwelling pump mechanism and a cardiac lumen member. The cardiac lumen member has at least one lumen tube that is connected to at least one intraventricular clamp that is connected to the inter chamber septum when the ventricular assist device is in the use position and is connected to at least one vertical septal clamp, the ventricular septal clamp is connected to the exterior facing myocardial tissue when the ventricular assist device is in the use position and at least a portion of the cardiac lumen tube extends through one of the cardiac chambers and a portion of the cardiac lumen extends from the ventricular septal clamp to the indwelling pump mechanism.

Abstract: According to the present teachings, a support structure for cardiac prosthesis is disclosed. The support structure can include an annular outer ring that can be used to stabilize/anchor devices used for valvular repair or replacement or left atrial appendage closure. Additionally, a valve repair device that can be used to treat cardiac valvular regurgitation. Further, a left atrial appendage closure device that can be used for left atrial appendage closure.
