Endovascular ventricular assist device, using the mathematical objective and principal of superposition
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
1. A system for use with a patient having a body, blood, and a descending aorta, the system comprising:
an endovascular ventricular assist device (EVAD) comprising a 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 EVAD when the EVAD is placed into the patient's descending aorta to allow the pump of the EVAD to move the patient's blood through the descending aorta at a substantially constant rate.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the EVAD also is configured to be removed from the patient's descending aorta by a catheterization procedure.
3. The system of claim 1 further comprising a controller unit associated with the power transfer belt, the controller unit configured to be disposed external to the patient's body.
4. The system of claim 1 further comprising a stent configured to fix the EVAD within the patient's descending aorta once the EVAD is placed into the patient's descending aorta by the catheterization procedure.
5. The system of 4 wherein the stent also is configured for forcing the blood to pass through the pump.
6. The system of claim 4 wherein the stent is a weave stent.
7. An endovascular ventricular assist device (EVAD) for use with a patient having a body, blood, and a descending aorta, the EVAD comprising a pump configured to be placed into the patient's descending aorta by a catheterization procedure, the pump of the EVAD configured to move the patient's blood through the descending aorta at a substantially constant rate when the EVAD is placed into the patient's descending aorta and when the EVAD is powered wirelessly by use of a power transfer belt disposed external to the patient's body.
