Cardiovascular device

Abstract

The cardiovascular device (1) comprises: a flexible membrane (3) insertable in a transverse position in a ventricular cavity (10); a flexible frame (2) which supports the membrane (3) in the transverse position, the flexible frame (2) comprising a plurality of shaped thread-like elements (4) each of which comprises a first portion (4A) which has a first end that is centrally associated with other first ends (4A) of other first portions of other thread-like elements (4) forming a central hub (5) and a second portion (4B) which is helically shaped and which has having a second end opposite the first end which is attached to an attachment element (6) which is common to other second ends of other thread-like elements (4), which form all together a plurality of loops (7; 28) everted toward the outside to support and constrain the membrane (3).
