A by-pass shunt (84) for use with a bodily fluid pump (54). The by-pass shunt (84) includes an inflow conduit (86), an outflow conduit (88), and an intermediate conduit (93) fluidically coupling the inflow and outflow conduits (86, 88). A flow restrictor (98) is operably coupled to a portion of the intermediate conduit (93) and is configured to reduce a fluid flow from the outflow conduit (88), through the intermediate conduit (93), and into the inflow conduit (86). |
