• Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a cardiovascular medical device for temporarily
improving cardiac function in human in life-threatening surgeries such as heart
transplant, percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting.
Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is further used in cardiogenic shock and assisting
left ventricular function. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) consists two main
components as, a double-lumen catheter with a distal end located inflatable bubble
and a console that regulates the inflation and deflation of the balloon. Intra-aortic
balloon pump (IABP) also improves the oxygen supply by increasing the blood flow to
the coronary arteries and stabilize the patients with dysrhythmias and myocardial
ischemia. The console manages the desired timing for balloon to inflate and deflate,
which is filled by helium or carbon dioxide further helps in proper perfusion. The
balloon inflates at the start of diastole and deflates before ventricular systole.
