Abstract
An intravascular blood pump () comprises a ring seal () that is configured to assume a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration and configured to contact and seal against an inner wall of the patient's blood vessel when inserted therein in the expanded configuration. A support member () is disposed inside the ring seal () in order to support the ring seal () from the inside, wherein the support member () is configured to collapse at least partially when a predetermined pressure difference between a proximal area and a distal area of the blood vessel acting on the ring seal () is exceeded.
