Abstract:
Thirty experiments were conducted on calves for hemodynamic study of mechanical aid to the heart (biventricular bypass by two artificial ++"Module"+ ventricles of the heart) in acute cardiac failure. The cavities of the heart were cannulated with a special perforating device which, when necessary, is an obturator of the main line. Analysis of the hemodynamic values showed a sufficiently high efficacy of biventricular shunting in acute cardiac failure. The device for draining the heart cavities has advantages over the traditional main lines, in particular the number of complications from bleeding and air embolism reduces with its use.
