Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein are systems, devices and methods for heart assist pumps that are implanted using minimally-invasive techniques and that operate by generating a dynamic magnetic field outside of the body to cause a rotor of the heart assist pump to rotate and enhance blood flow through the pump. The disclosed systems, methods, and devices can be utilized in conjunction with a minimally-invasive operation to anchor a micro-pump device at a targeted location within the heart. The pump can be wholly located within the heart without any wires or cannulas penetrating the heart or the body of the patient. Use of this pump as a ventricular assist device can advantageously reduce recovery time, reduce complications, and potentially provide a solution for non-operable patients.
