Abstract

The outside diameter of an intravascular axial flow blood pump is reduced without reducing the size of its journal bearings (34, 36, 38) by causing the pumped blood stream to exit through apertures (26) in the cylindrical outside wall of the pump housing between the rotor blades (20) and the rotor journal. This allows the journal to have a diameter of the housing, without the need for a space-consuming blood flow path around the journal.

Description

PERCUTANEOUS BLOOD PUMP WITH MIXED-FLOW OUTPUT
Field of the invention
This invention relate.s to intravascular blood pumps, and particularly to a miniature axial flow pump with a mixed radial and axial outflow pattern.
Background of the invention
U.S. Patent No. , 625,712 and copending application Serial No.124, 874, filed Nov. 24,1987 and entitled SINGLE-STAGE AXIAL FLOW BLOOD PUMP disclose intravascular axial flow blood pumps. Inasmuch as such pumps must be percutaneously inserted and threaded through an artery into the vicinity of the heart, it is physiologically desirable to make them as small as possible; yet in order to maintain a given blood flow, the smaller the pump, the higher its rotational speed must be. This objective, however, is restricted by practical limitations on the miniaturization of the bearings, which must have a certain minimum diameter in order to function reliably. Consequently, it has not previously been possible to construct blood pumps of this type with an outside diameter 'sustantially smaller than 7 mm, which is physiologically acceptable but not ideal because it would be highly desirable to make the pump fit through conventional 14-french (4.7 mm) ID percutaneous introducers.
Summary of the invention
The present invention makes it possible to construct an intravascular axial flow blood pump which has an outside diameter substantially smaller
SUBSTITUTE SHEET than prior art pumps, yet has bearings of the same size.
The invention accomplishes this by discharging the. pumped blood not axially through the downstream end of the pump's cylindrical housing, but at an angle through elongated slots located near the center of the housing. This construction makes it possible to use the full inner diameter of the housing for the rotor journals without having to leave room for a blood path and stator blades around the journals.
It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a miniaturized axial-flow intravascular blood pump in which the space available for bearings is maximized by discharging the pumped blood partially radially and partially axially through openings formed in the pump's cylindrical housing upstream of the bearings.
Brief description of the drawings
Fig. 1 is an axial section of the blood pump of this invention; and
Fig. 2 is a section along line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Description of the preferred embodiment
In Fig. 1, the blood pump of this invention is generally shown at 10. The pump 10 is contained within a cylindrical housing 12 and includes a rotor 14 and a stator 16. The housing 12 has a blood intake opening 17. The rotor 14 has a narrow, elongated hub 18. The hub 18 preferably carries a set of rotor blades 20. The hub 18 increases in diameter in the downstream direction substantiallv
SUBSTITUTESHEET continuously throughout its entire length, so that the blood flow in the area of the rotor blades 20 is in a mixed axial and radial direction.
The radial component of the blood flow
5 produced by rotor 14 is enhanced by the curvature of the deflection surface 24 of stator 16, so that the blood is propelled outwardly of the housing 12 through openings 26 in the housing wall in the general direction of arrows 28.
10 ' This construction makes it possible to use the entire inner diameter of housing 12 to house the journals 30 of the rotor shaft 32. The journal bearings 34, 36, 38 and the thrust bearing 40 are preferably of the purged-seal hydrodynamic type. τ_5 Fluid for these bearings is supplied from an outside source (not shown) through the outer lumen 42 of cable sheath 43 which contains the rotor drive cable 44. The details of the construction of cable sheath 43 are described in copending application Serial No.
20 124,874 and are not material to this invention. The cross section, number and shape of the openings 26 should be such as to avoid as much as possible any impediment to the blood flow, and to avoid any hemolysis-producing or thrombogenic' turbulence, 5 while maintaining the structural integrity of the housing 12. Their specific optimum geometry depends in large measure on the design of the rotor blades 20 and on the curvature of the stator surface 24 in any particular application. 0 The rotor hub 18 is preferably firmly but removably attached to the rotor shaft 32 by any conventional means such as screwthreads to
SUBSTITUTE SHEET facilitate assembly and disassembly of the pump 10 while holding it firmly together during operation. It will be seen that the present invention provides a miniature mixed flow blood pump which can be manufactured with a substantially smaller diameter than prior art pumps of the same type, yet can accommodate a sufficiently large rotor shaft journal to provide reliability in operation, by causing the blood stream to exit the pump housing upstream of the journal bearings.
