摘要:
A ventricular assist device includes a housing including a pumping chamber. A stator assembly is supported in the housing. The stator assembly includes a core having a length measured along a pump axis. A rotating assembly is rotatable relative to the stator assembly about the pump axis. The rotating assembly includes an impeller positioned in the pumping chamber and a rotor magnet. The rotating assembly is movable axially along the pump axis relative to the pump housing and the stator assembly. The rotating assembly includes a rotor magnet configured and arranged such that the magnetic attraction of the rotor magnet to the core urges the rotating assembly to move axially relative to the stator assembly such that a flow regulating portion of the rotating assembly engages with a corresponding portion of the housing to block flow through the pumping chamber when the pump is at rest.
