Abstract
A blood pumping system for supplementing distal blood perfusion comprising a blood pressure altering device in the form of a blood pump (1) having an inlet (10) and an outlet (9) which also includes an upstream end (2) and a downstream end (4). The blood pressure altering device (1) cooperates with a circulatory system of a patient (15) to promote blood flow throughout at least one or more distal regions including limbs, a brain region of a patient by altering vascular blood pressure. The blood pressure altering device (1), when in use, is positioned in series with the normal blood flow of the circulatory system of a patient (15).
Claims38
A blood pumping system, for supplementing distal blood perfusion, comprising:
- a blood pressure altering device including an upstream end and a downstream end;
- wherein said blood pressure altering device cooperates with a circulatory system to promote blood flow throughout at least one or more distal regions including limbs, a brain region or a pelvic region of a patient by altering vascular blood pressure;
- whereby said blood pressure altering device, when in use, is positioned in series with the normal blood flow of the circulatory system of a patient.
(canceled)
A blood pumping system, for perfusing a distal region of a patient's circulatory system, comprising:
- a blood pressure altering device, wherein said blood pressure altering device is in fluid communication with said circulatory system, and wherein said blood pressure altering device pumps blood so as to create a localised hypertensive region in said distal region.
