==Original Abstract Submitted==

A distal extension for a blood pump may be provided. The distal extension may include a tubular body. The distal end of the tubular body may be coupled to an intermediate point on the tubular body to form a closed loop at a distal end of an atraumatic distal extension. The closed loop may define an aperture extending through the closed loop, the closed loop having a central plane parallel to a central axis of the tubular body at the proximal end. In various aspects, the tubular body may include a bend. The bend may define an angle between a central axis of a first substantially straight section of the tubular body proximal to the bend and a central axis of a second substantially straight section of the tubular body distal to the bend. In various aspects, the closed loop may be a non-circular closed loop.
