ABSTRACT:
An intraventricular pump (IVP) is a surgically-implanted orthotoxic heart pump capable of augmenting either one or both of the heart's ventricles. The IVP pumps blood using an internal diaphragm which is hydrualically activated by a physiologically-controlled pacemaker pump system. The entire system is contained within the human body and is powered by a rechargeable battery system. An artificial valve is incorporated into the right-sided IVP which is hydraulically-activated to work in conjunction with the IVP.
