摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention includes a connector ring assembly 220 to attach a VAD to a heart. The assembly 220 includes a clamp 224 which can rotate completely about the annular wall 222 in a first state and is fixed relative to the annular wall 222 in a second state. The clamp 224 transitions from the first state to the second state via an actuator 234. The actuator 234 can be configured with an axis of rotation 138 generally parallel to the opening 50 of the annular wall 222, thereby allowing manipulation of the actuator 234 through the same surgical accessway as that used to implant the connector ring assembly 220. At least one embodiment provides a connector flange 172 separately from an annular wall 122 to provide greater access to the connector flange 172 during implantation. The annular wall 122 and clamp 124 are attached to the connector flange 172 after the flange is fixed to the heart.

摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention includes a percutaneous skin connector 1 including a base 3 and a cap 2. The base 3 has a channel 31 extending through it and a plurality of base magnets 24, 29 are positioned around the channel 31 and exposed at a base surface 30. A skirt 21 which allows tissue ingrowth extends from the base 3 to further secure the base 3 to the patient. The connector 1 also includes a cap 2 with a bore 61 extending through it and a plurality of cap magnets 47, 48 positioned around the bore 61 and exposed at a cap surface 42. The base magnets 24, 29 and cap magnets 47, 48 attract and align the cap surface 42 to the base surface 30. The connector 1 further includes a release mechanism adapted to at least partially separate the cap 2 from the base 3 when the cap 2 is rotated relative to the base 3 and out of alignment with the base 3.
