Patent number: 8684904Abstract: A blood pump includes an impeller having a plurality of foldable blades and a cannula having a proximal portion with a fixed diameter, and a distal portion with an expandable diameter. The impeller can reside in the expandable portion of the cannula. The cannula has a collapsed condition for percutaneous delivery to a desired location within the body, and an expanded condition in which the impeller can rotate to pump blood. A flexible drive shaft can extend through the cannula for rotationally driving the impeller within the patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2013Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignees: Thoratec Corporation, The Penn State Research FoundationInventors: Robert L.
