FLUID KINETIC ENERGY REDISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR USE AS HEMODYNAMIC SUPPORT

摘要

Device for assisting a first fluid flow within a first conduit of a body via a second fluid flow within a second conduit of the body, comprising: Elongated housing having a first end implantable within the first conduit, a second end implantable within the second conduit. A first rotatable element disposed at the first end having a first vane structured to impart kinetic energy to the first fluid contacting the first vane when the first rotatable element rotates. A second rotatable element disposed at the second end having a second vane structured to cause the second rotatable element to rotate when a second fluid flow contacts the second vane. A driveshaft rotatably extending within the elongated housing, operatively interconnecting the second rotatable element with the first rotatable element to transmit rotational movement from one to the other to rotate the first rotatable element. An absence of an external energy source.
