The invention features modular implantable ventricular assist devices configured to be, at least in part, assembled within a patient. The devices generally include a pump assembly and an expandable frame. The frame is configured to engage tissue of a patient when implanted. The pump assembly is configured to be operably coupled to the frame when the frame is implanted and in the expanded configuration. 本发明的特征在于模块化的可植入心室辅助装置，其被构造成至少部分地组装在患者体内。所述装置大体上包括泵组件和可膨胀的框架。框架被构造成在植入时接合患者的组织。泵组件被构造成当框架被植入并处于膨胀构型时可操作地联接到框架。
