Abstract
An active hydraulic ventricular attachable support system includes a net cover for surrounding a ventricle and is formed by hollow tubes. All the hollow tubes can completely communicate with each other or form a plurality of independent areas, and the interior of each independent area is intercommunicating, while the independent areas are not communicating with each other. The system as a whole is positioned on the surface of the heart. The hollow tubular structure can be filled with various kinds of liquid of different physical characteristics, and then the corresponding reaction pressure generated can be applied to the ventricle and the surfaces of the heart. The system also can be incorporated with local administration.
