Patent abstract
A method for transferring oxygenated blood from a low pressure chamber to a high pressure chamber includes placing a conduit between the left auricle and the aorta of a patient, attaching a prosthetic valve at the aortic end of the conduit, filling the conduit with oxygenated blood from the left auricle and using the downward systolic force of blood in the aorta to create a Venturi effect in the aorta allowing the oxygenated blood in the conduit to flow from the low pressure chamber into the high pressure chamber.
