ABSTRACT:
An extra-anatomic heart valve apparatus, which may be mounted externally to the heart, includes a heart valve positioned within a generally tubular conduit. An elongated outflow conduit extends from the tubular conduit and terminates in an end spaced from the heart valve. A resilient support and/or corrugations may be added to the outflow conduit to help resist compression of the conduit as well as to facilitate bending thereof.
