    Abstract: A heart assist device comprising a rotary pump housing having a cylindrical bore, a pumping chamber and a motor stator including an electrically conductive coil located within the housing and surrounding a portion of the cylindrical bore. A rotor has a cylindrical shaft, at least one impeller appended to one end of the shaft, and a plurality of magnets located within the shaft. The rotor shaft is positioned within the housing bore with the magnets opposite the motor stator, and the impeller is positioned within the pumping chamber. The housing bore is closely fitted to the outer surface of the shaft forming a hydrodynamic journal bearing, with the pumping chamber and journal bearing connected by a leak path of blood flow between the pumping chamber and the journal bearing. A backiron of the motor stator attracts the rotor magnets to resist longitudinal displacement of the rotor within the housing during operation. The relative orientation of positions of the inflow, outflow, and leakage flow paths may be varied within the pump, such as to accommodate different intended methods for implantation and/or use.

    Abstract: Systems methods are disclosed for changing one or more characteristics (e.g. flow magnitude via pump speed) of mechanical circulatory assistance provided by an LVAD during specified points in the cardiac cycle, preferably using closed loop control. The system and method may be implemented for dynamically changing ventricular unloading during the cardiac cycle by adjusting the degree of ventricular assistance during systole and/or diastole. The system and methods also include a means to sense the phase of the cardiac cycle to inform the LVAD of timing within the cardiac cycle.

    Abstract: A total artificial heart having a rotor with an impeller, wherein the rotor is mounted within a pump housing on a hollow shaft. The rotor is magnetically driven to produce rotary motion of the impeller for pumping blood. The motor is disposed within the pump housing such that axial translation within the housing acts as a shuttle valve to alternate flow between pulmonary and systemic circulation.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering a miniaturized blood pump configured to draw partially desaturated blood via the femoral vein from the inferior or superior vena cava. A cannula connected to the pump exits the femoral vein and is connected to the femoral artery with a cannula or vascular graft. The pump receives power from a percutaneous lead which runs parallel to the flexible cannula and then exits via a percutaneous opening in the skin. The pump in the venous system removes venous blood and pumps it into the femoral artery. In so doing pressure in the aorta is increased and back pressure in the venous system is decreased.
