Summary:This document aims at introducing the development and the construction of a pre-industrial automatic heart resuscitator, able to drastically reduce the X-Rays masking in the action zone. Thanks to lateral actuation of the massage and the carbon fiber choose for building the chest contact point bridge, it was possible to pass the limitations view under the action of a X-rays machine. This fact will help surgeon to operate having a complete and continuous view of the action area. Moreover, it allows a temporary pause (for short periods) during the coronary angioplasty procedure. Transparency tests made on a patient, submitted to the realized heart resuscitator, showed a total transparency with a negligible interference of it.
