The present invention provides a total artificial heart system for auto- regulating flow and pressure balance. In one embodiment, the system comprises an atrial reservoir comprising inlets and outlets connectable to a mammalian cardiovascular system and at least first and second continuous flow pumps connected to the atrial reservoir. In further embodiments, the system comprises an atrial reservoir comprising at least two atrial chambers, and a means for transmitting fluid pressure between the atrial chambers. The means for transmitting fluid pressure include, but are not limited to a diaphragm, an interatrial window, a flexible membrane, a valve, a filter, or combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the means for transmitting fluid pressure comprises an implantable diaphragm comprising an outer rim attachable to biological tissue and a membrane anchored at its periphery by said outer rim.

L~invention concerne un système de cAEur artificiel complet assurant la régulation automatique du débit et de la pression du sang. Dans un mode de réalisation, le système comprend un réservoir atrial comprenant des entrées et des sorties raccordables à un système cardiovasculaire mammifère et au moins des première et deuxième pompes à débit continu raccordées au réservoir atrial. Dans d~autres modes de réalisation, le système comprend un réservoir atrial comprenant au moins deux chambres atriales, et des moyens de transmission de pression fluidique entre les chambres atriales. Les moyens de transmission de pression fluidique comprennent, sans aucun caractère limitatif, un diaphragme, une fenêtre interatriale, une membrane souple, une valve, un filtre, ou des combinaisons de ceux-ci. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les moyens de transmission de pression fluidique comprennent un diaphragme implantable comprenant un rebord extérieur attachable à du tissu biologique et une membrane ancrée au niveau de sa périphérie par le rebord extérieur.
