Claim 0:
1. A method of assembling a catheter pump, comprising:
providing an elongate polymeric catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end;
providing a metallic tubular catheter pump component having a proximal portion and a distal portion;
positioning a mechanical interface having a first interface zone and a second interface zone such that the first interface zone is disposed over a portion of the elongate polymeric catheter body adjacent to the distal end thereof;
flowing the polymer into the first interface zone, whereby the elongate polymeric catheter body becomes joined with the first interface zone of the mechanical interface; and
coupling the metallic tubular catheter pump component with the second interface zone of the mechanical interface.
