ABSTRACT
The paper presents evidence for and results of development of a new hydrodynamic optimized design of the automyoneoventricle (AMNV) for extracorporeal circulation in critical myocardial lesions. The chosen geometry of externally spirally braided AMNV forms a curled flow that excludes the presence of eddy and stagnant zones which present a risk for thrombogenesis. Moreover, the paper details the original process for manufacturing the prototypes of the AMNV having spiral latex ribs, which has been modified to give its thromboresistant and antibiotic properties. The proposed biomechanical system has been put through tests yielding satisfactory results and it is to undergo clinical trials.
