Abstract[English]
Systems and methods are provided herein for improving connections between a heart pump such a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and the heart and/or tubing such as a graft tube. An apical connector including a cylindrical housing and a ring support connected to the housing is described. The apical connector may include a sewing ring to be connected to the patient's heart and a spring positioned within the cylindrical housing to engage a portion of the pump and secure the apical connector to the pump. Alternatively, an apical connector may include an upper and lower housing with locks positioned in channels between the housings and may include a handle and a ring to cause the locks to engage a portion of the pump. A quick connect assembly is also described for efficiently connecting a graft tube to an outlet of a heart pump using a flange with through-holes and protrusions.[French]
L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés pour améliorer des connexions entre une pompe cardiaque telle qu'un dispositif d'assistance ventriculaire gauche (LVAD) et le cœur et/ou un tube tel qu'un tube de greffe. Un connecteur apical comprenant un boîtier cylindrique et un support annulaire connecté au boîtier est décrit. Le connecteur apical peut comprendre un anneau de suture à connecter au cœur du patient et un ressort positionné à l'intérieur du boîtier cylindrique pour venir en prise avec une partie de la pompe et fixer le connecteur apical à la pompe. En variante, un connecteur apical peut comprendre un boîtier supérieur et un boîtier inférieur avec des verrous positionnés dans des canaux entre les boîtiers et peut comprendre une poignée et un anneau pour amener les verrous à venir en prise avec une partie de la pompe. Un ensemble de connexion rapide est également décrit pour connecter efficacement un tube de greffe à une sortie d'une pompe cardiaque à l'aide d'une bride dotée de trous traversants et de saillies.
