Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described including a blood pump that includes an impeller having proximal and distal end portions, a frame disposed around the impeller, and a shaft member that passes through the proximal and distal end portions of the impeller and that is configured to impart rotational motion to the impeller. The impeller defines a radially-constrained configuration in which the impeller is introduced into a subject's body and a non-radially-constrained configuration in which the impeller is configured to pump blood within the subject's body. The distal end portion of the impeller is configured to slide over the shaft member as the impeller changes from its radially-constrained configuration to its non-radially-constrained configuration. Other applications are also described.
