Not-motorized implantable circulatory assistance device structure: (a) drawing from patent [5]: an upstream segment (1) with an inlet for connection to an upstream bypass point (Aam) of the aorta (a), — a downstream segment (2) with an outlet for connection to a downstream branching point (Aav) of the aorta, —an elastically expandable chamber (3), connected between the upstream segment (1) and down- stream segment (2) for receiving a volume of blood with each systole and discharging during the follow- ing diastole, —valves (4)—external drive for total circulatory support (111)—line connecting the device with the external (112)—all the elements (1, 2, 3, 4) being biocompatible.
