Abstract
Statement of the Problem: Patients with cardiac insufficiency with mitral regurgitation number a poor prognosis in the short and medium term, being the therapy for this problem is the replacement or valve repair which takes a of the frame in the short and medium term. Theoretical Orientation: We have proposed the technique where we construct a Neo ventricle with flexible material inside the left ventricle (Conus) where the native ventricle is kept filling through a Left Atrium Appendage to Left Ventricular Bypass so that the Left Atrium and the Left Ventricle are double outlet. Findings: The first tests in the Flow Engineering and Hydrodynamics laboratory were very encouraging, we hope to start tests at Animal Lab next year. Conclusion : This technique waits to decrease the Wall Stress of the native ventricle and thus alleviates the La Place Strength in the wall of the ventricle, where theoretically we would improve cardiac remodeling
