PERCUTANEOUS CIRCULATORY SUPPORT DEVICE INCLUDING RECONFIGURABLE DISTAL TIP PORTION
A percutaneous circulatory support device includes a housing and an impeller disposed within the housing and being rotatable relative to the housing to cause blood to flow through the housing. A cannula is coupled to the housing, and a distal tip portion is coupled to the cannula opposite the housing. A control wire is movable to modify at least one of a radius, a stiffness, and a shape of the distal tip portion.
