Abstract:
A circulatory assist apparatus comprising: an inflatable pumping balloon having a proximal end joined to an elongated balloon catheter, the balloon catheter having a distal end joined to the pumping balloon and a proximal end, separated from the distal end by a length sufficient to extend from within a circulatory lumen to the outside of a patient's body, for receiving positive and negative pressure pulses from a pump to inflate and deflate the pumping balloon; and a radially expandable frame, mounted on one of a segment extending distally from the pumping balloon, the balloon catheter, and a sleeve tube surrounding the balloon catheter. The expandable frame is manipulate to expand within the circulatory lumen, and functions to space apart the inflatable balloon from the circulatory lumen, having a first diameter in a collapsed configuration for intraluminal delivery and a second, larger diameter in an expanded configuration achieved by said manipulation.

Claim (Index 36):
The apparatus of  claim 35 , wherein the second radially expandable frame has an expanded diameter of between 6 mm and 30 mm, and the second radially expandable frame is partially radially expandable to conform to a second predetermined target diameter of the wall of the aorta or other circulatory lumen, wherein the first and second predetermined target diameters may be the same as or different from each other.
