Abstract  Abstract

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE ASSISTANCE IN THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM An apparatus for pumping blood in an animal, the apparatus comprising: an outer supporting structure (1040) that is substantially open to flow of blood in two generally orthogonal directions; and a pumping element (1060) rotatable within said outer supporting structure (1040) said pumping element (1060) including a circumferentially-continuous outer member (1061) supported by an inner member (1063), said pumping element (1060) having a distal end, a proximal end, and a midsection of greatest diameter intermediate of the distal and proximal ends, a surface of said outer member (1061) being in the shape of a body of revolution, wherein rotation of said pumping element (1060) provides flow of blood radially outward from the midsection of said pumping element (1060) and through a midsection of said outer supporting structure (1040).
