1. A system for treating a patient, comprising:

  • a catheter, comprising;

    a catheter body having a proximal end, a first distal end, and a second distal end, said first distal end extending distally farther from the proximal end than the second distal end;

    a first lumen extending between said first distal end and said proximal end;

    a second lumen extending between said second distal end and said proximal end and being in fluid communication with said first lumen at the proximal end; and

    a redirecting tip positioned at the distal end of the first lumen;

    a pump secured within one of the lumens and configured to pump blood into the first lumen at subcardiac volumetric rates;

    wherein the redirecting tip is configured to redirect substantially all of the blood from the pump in a direction generally opposite of the direction of flow in the first lumen.
