ABSTRACT:
The blood pump (10) comprises an elongate drive portion (11) and a pump portion (12) lengthening the latter. Between the two portions, flow openings (17) are positioned. According to the invention, the flow openings (17) are covered by a screen (24) preventing the blood pump from sucking fast on tissue parts or cardiac valves or from sucking in endogenous tissue and being blocked thereby.
