Abstract
An intravascular blood pump having a pumping device including an impeller and an electric motor for driving the impeller. A rotor of the electric motor is disposed inside a cavity in the pumping device and rotatable about an axis of rotation and coupled to the impeller so as to be able to cause rotation of the impeller. The cavity is formed by an inner sleeve made of a ceramic material. At least a portion of the stator of the electric motor, in particular a coil winding, may be arranged on the ceramic inner sleeve.
