Endovascular ventricular assist device, using the mathematical objective and principle of superposition
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An endovascular ventricular assist device (EVAD) configured to be used in connection with a patient having a body, blood, and a descending aorta, the EVAD comprising:
- an axial flow pump configured to be placed into the patient'"'"'s descending aorta by a catheterization procedure; and
a power transfer belt configured to be disposed external to the patient'"'"'s body and to provide power wirelessly to the pump when the pump is placed into the patient'"'"'s descending aorta to allow the pump to move the patient'"'"'s blood through the descending aorta at a substantially constant rate.

Abstract
This embodiment suggests new approach for Endovascular Ventricular Assist Device, using the mathematical objective & principle of superposition allow design and calculation of the body response to VAD pump located in the Aorta. This new approach allows minimal invasive Endovascular VAD that result in similar relief to the heart as partial VAD. Using special power transfer technique will allow wireless power transformation into the aorta. This methods and technique should dramatic reduce VAD barrier.
