title: [An improved connecting system for artificial hearts].
abstract: The certain connection of the artificial ventricles to the vascular system has a decisive importance in the implantation of an artificial heart. Demands concerning tightness, reliability, easy attendance, and anatomic fit are to be considered especially in the construction of a suitable connecting system. A modified bayonet system came in use. The connection between the artificial heart and the vascular system is placed here by distortions of a tightening ring.
