The present invention provides a ventricular function assisting device configured to be implanted in a heart ventricle designed in a form of flower-like configuration comprising two or more petals attached at a base section, said petals comprise elastic elements and/or portions capable of being elastically bent in radial directions and optionally also in sideway and/or longitudinal directions, which allow changing the state of the device between: i) a folded conformation, in which its petals are radially pressed inwardly towards each other to assume a reduced diameter of its flower- like configuration; and ii) a deployed conformation, in which the petals are opened in a radial outward direction as the device is discharged from the delivery tube or sheath into a heart ventricle and implanted thereinside in a preloaded state.

La présente invention propose un dispositif assistant la fonction ventriculaire, configuré pour être implanté dans un ventricule cardiaque et configuré en fleur comportant deux ou plusieurs pétales fixés sur une partie de base, lesdits pétales contenant des éléments élastiques et/ou des parties qui peuvent être fléchies élastiquement dans la direction radiale et facultativement aussi dans la direction latérale et/ou la direction longitudinale, ce qui permet de modifier l'état du dispositif entre i) une conformation repliée dans laquelle ses pétales sont repoussés radialement vers l'intérieur en direction l'un de l'autre pour que sa configuration en fleur présente un diamètre réduit et ii) une conformation déployée dans laquelle les pétales sont ouverts dans une direction radialement extérieure lorsque le dispositif est déchargé du tube ou du fourreau d'administration dans un ventricule du coeur et y est implanté à l'état pré-contraint.
