In a blood pump for supporting cardiac performance, including a stent-like housing which has a first axial end and a second axial end, a pump rotor mounted rotatably in the housing, in particular an impellor, and a flexible drive shaft, which can be coupled to a motor in order to drive the pump rotor to rotate, whereby blood is sucked in on an intake side of the pump rotor through an intake tube of the blood pump and is ejected on a discharge side of the pump rotor, the blood pump has a flow directing means arranged downstream of the pump rotor in order to selectively direct the blood conveyed by the pump rotor to the first or to the second axial end of the housing while maintaining the direction of rotation of the pump rotor.
A61M 60/148 - Implantable pumps or pumping devices, i.e. the blood being pumped inside the patient’s body implantable via, into, inside, in line, branching on, or around a blood vessel in line with a blood vessel using resection or like techniques, e.g. permanent endovascular heart assist devices

The invention relates to a stent pump for intravascular, intraventricular or intraatrial placement inside the human heart comprising: —a preferably tubular housing having an inlet and an outlet, —an impeller, and —a stream former, wherein the impeller and optionally the stream former are arranged within the housing, characterized in that the stream former is arranged downstream of the impeller, and the housing, the stream former and/or the impeller are deployable from a first position, in which the housing, the stream former and/or the impeller are folded for being arranged within a delivery device, into a second, expanded position, in which the housing, the stream former and/or the impeller are deployed.
A61M 60/419 - Details relating to driving for non-positive displacement blood pumps the force acting on the blood contacting member being permanent magnetic, e.g. from a rotating magnetic coupling between driving and driven magnets
