Abstract
The intraaortically located microaxial pump represents a promising dev ice for temporary cardiac assistance in terms of efficiency and practi cability. Due to well-documented problems arising from the concept of a pump unit being driven by an extracorporeally placed motor via a fle xible drive shaft cable, a new pump concept is presented. The cable is replaced by a proximally attached microelectric motor that needs only an extracorporeal power supply.
