Abstract
An implantable LVAD is provided that includes a pump shaped so as to define a pump chamber. The pump includes a tubular linear motor, which includes a magnetic piston, which includes a reciprocating one-way valve configured to allow downstream blood flow and inhibit upstream blood flow; and a stator, which is configured to magnetically drive the magnetic piston with reciprocating motion, so as to pump blood downstream during downstream motion of the magnetic piston while the reciprocating one-way valve is closed. The pump further includes a spring, which is arranged to store energy during upstream motion of the magnetic piston and release the stored energy during the downstream motion of the magnetic piston. Control circuitry is configured to activate the tubular linear motor to provide pulsatile flow synchronized with cardiac cycles. Other configurations are also described.
