Abstract
A quick connect system for connecting a blood vessel and a cardiac prosthesis comprises two cooperating annular connectors, one fixed to the prosthesis and the other to the end of the blood vessel. A removable obturating plate is mounted on the connector fixed to the cardiac prosthesis so as to be able to slide in a plane at least substantially orthogonal to the axis of the connector, this plate comprising an outward extension enabling it to be gripped, when it is in its obturating position. The invention is particularly useful in heart surgery.
