Abstract
Intravascular blood pumps and methods of use. The blood pump include a pump portion that includes a collapsible blood conduit defining a blood flow lumen between an inflow and an outflow. The pump portion includes a distal collapsible impeller axially spaced from a proximal collapsible impeller, at least a portion of each of the distal and proximal collapsible impellers disposed between the inflow and the outflow.
Claims16
A removable cassette for use with an external console to facilitate and control the flow of fluid through an intravascular blood pump, comprising:
- a cassette housing comprising a pump head receiving area sized and configured to receive a pump head therein;
- and
- a clean fluid pathway between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet;
- a second clean fluid pathway in communication with the fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet, wherein the clean fluid pathway and the second clean fluid pathway are the same pathway between the inlet and a pathway bifurcation in the cassette;
- the cassette housing having a first side with a flow control opening formed therein, the flow control opening positioned relative to the clean fluid pathway so as to provide access to the clean fluid pathway from the first side through the flow control opening, the flow control opening sized and configured to receive therein a flow controller of an external console to facilitate the control of fluid through the clean fluid pathway.
