1. A system for treating a heart condition in a patient comprising:
- a body element comprising;
a cylindrical core segment defining a passage;
a first annular flange adapted to engage a first surface of an atrial septum of the patient;
a second annular flange adapted to engage a second surface of the atrial septum of the patient; and
a motor mounted to the body element includes a stationary portion and a movable portion, wherein the movable portion of the motor is anchored to a movable flap,wherein the movable flap is configured to move away from the stationary portion of the motor, forming an opening of the atrial septum, and allowing blood flow between left atrium and right atrium.
