Abstract
Intravascularly delivered blood pumps and associated devices, systems, and methods, are disclosed herein. A system for intravascularly implanting a blood pump in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, an elongated delivery dilator having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a lumen extending between the first end portion and the second end portion. The elongated delivery dilator is configured to advance over a guidewire positioned within the patient's vasculature and to extend through the patient's vasculature between a first blood vessel and a second blood vessel. A pump assembly includes an expandable member and a driveline. The expandable member is configured to be positioned in a patient's descending aorta to provide circulatory support to the patient's heart.
