摘要:
The present invention provides an apparatus, system, and method of use of a simple, less invasive, self-expandable percutaneous double lumen cannula assembly for VV ECMO that overcomes the limitations and obstacles of the techniques described above. The present invention achieves near theoretical total venous blood drainage, total extracorporeal gas exchange, and prevents recirculation and multiple cannulation, thereby simplifying VV ECMO, decreasing surgical and blood trauma, and expanding its application.

A compact heat exchanger for veno-venous perfusion-induced hyperthermia includes an integral pneumatic pump and a hollow tubule heat exchange array. A veno-venous perfusion-induced hyperthermia system incorporating the compact heat exchanger is described. The heat exchanger provides a compact, efficient design allowing a lesser heat exchanging surface area and lesser required pumping power compared to conventional systems. In turn, the system provides a shorter blood circuit compared to conventional systems, allowing maintaining a lower blood temperature than such conventional systems while supplying sufficiently heated blood to patient visceral organs to provide a therapeutic effect, such as in supplementing chemotherapy drugs.

A system for providing access to at least one heart chamber for delivering and/or removing a fluid includes a selectively occludable conduit defining a lumen for providing access to an interior of at least one heart chamber from an exterior of a chest wall of the patient, and a dual lumen cannula adapted for passing through an interior lumen of the conduit. The selectively occludable conduit includes at least one balloon closure for substantially sealing an end of the conduit in fluid communication with the chamber of the heart. The dual lumen cannula includes a first, drainage lumen having at least one aperture for removing a fluid from the interior of the heart chamber, and a second, delivery lumen for delivering a fluid into the interior of the heart chamber. The delivery lumen may include an extendable infusion sleeve for delivering a fluid into an interior of the heart.

A blood oxygenator includes an integral pneumatic pump disposed substantially within a housing thereof, an inlet blood flow redirector, and an outflow blood collector. An atrium provided at an inlet of the oxygenator promotes even delivery of blood to the oxygenator. In use, the oxygenator provides an even dispersion of blood therethrough, establishing even perfusion and reducing areas of stagnant blood flow.

摘要:
An apparatus, system, and method for assisting a heart in circulating blood that has been damaged, for example, by a myocardial infarction. In at least one aspect, an apparatus, system, and method are used for inserting a single cannula assembly comprising at least an inner and outer cannula into the left ventricle, advancing the inner cannula portion of the cannula assembly past the aortic valve, and into the aorta without requiring a secondary cannula insertion through an external portion of the aorta. In another aspect, an intraventricular assistant device (IVAD) having a motor and impeller can be inserted directly into the heart, such as in the left ventricle. The IVAD uniquely provides a pump within the heart through a single insertion that can reduce thrombosis and lessen the complexities typically associated with such efforts.
