Abstract
The development of a ventricular assist device is depicted. The seven subprograms that make up the project are described briefly. Results ob tained during the clinical assay showed that the new design of the inp ut cannula working as a false auricle provides better efficiency, as w ell as a certain level of autoregulation for the device.
