Abstract: A sutureless securing device for securing on an opening in a ventricular wall, includes: a hollow main body with an outer surface; a ring received at a first end of the hollow body, this ring being mobile along part of the outer surface of the hollow body; a tubular membrane covering the outer surface, whilst extending between the ring and the second end of the hollow body; a distal end of this tubular membrane, placed on the side of this second end, being self-expandable between a first configuration in which it has a tubular form, and a second configuration in which it defines a first flange extending radially, starting from the hollow body; the other end of this tubular membrane being able to be deformed by the displacement of the ring, such as to form a retention flange, the position of which can vary relative to the first flange.

Abstract: Disclosed is an assembly for fitting/removing a heart pump in a sleeve secured in an opening in a ventricular wall, the assembly including a guide element with a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending between, and opening at, the distal and proximal ends, the heart pump having a pump body. With this pump body including an assembly element, the assembly includes a gripping unit which can slide in the lumen, the gripping unit having at its free end an assembly part which is complementary with the assembly element, which part is configured to cooperate with the assembly element, and to join this free end to the pump body, in order to permit the gripping and displacement of the heart pump.

Abstract: The heart pump includes: a rotary impeller inserted in the systemic ventricle, the rotary impeller being provided with: a sealing membrane sutured onto the outer wall of the heart so as to secure the rotary impeller to the wall of the heart; a casing arranged inside the systemic ventricle such as to be able to suction and then discharge the blood; a preferably brushless motor connected to the casing and arranged inside the systemic ventricle and/or in the body of the ventricle, so as to facilitate maintenance; a managing unit installed in the epigastric region and including a preferably rechargeable power source and a unit for controlling the rotary impeller; a wired link between the managing unit and the rotary impeller; and a system for transmitting haemodynamic and rhythmic data measured by the heat pump via telemedicine.

Abstract: In a method for managing a cardiac pump intended to assist the heart of a patient, the cardiac pump sends pressurized blood at a flow rate proportional to the speed of rotation Vrpm of the pump through the aortic valve of the heart. The steps, during a same ventricular systole, include: detecting mitral valve closure, rotational speed Vrpm of the pump being strictly less than a maximum value Vrpm max, increasing Vrpm of the pump such that, at time t2, after the time t corresponding to the closing of the mitral valve, the speed of rotation of the pump is equal, or substantially equal, to the maximum value Vrpm max of the speed of rotation, and keeping the speed of rotation Vrpm of the pump at this maximum value Vrpm max for at least a portion of the time period T during which the aortic valve is open.

Abstract: A heart pump includes a rotative impeller partly inserted into the systemic ventricle, this rotative impeller being equipped with a membrane sutured to the outer wall of the heart in such a way as to secure the rotative impeller to the wall of the heart, a housing arranged inside the systemic ventricle in such a way as to draw up then discharge blood, a motor connected to the housing and arranged partly outside the systemic ventricle in such a way as to facilitate maintenance; an integrated management unit in the epigastric region including a power supply and a rotative impeller control unit; and a wired link between the management unit and the rotative impeller.
