A balloon pump supports the function of a weakened heart. It ensures a steady blood flow to coronary arteries and reduces the energy needed for pumping.

Compared with standard medical care, early use of a temporary intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to support heart function in patients who were critically ill with cardiogenic shock caused by heart ...

"Use of IABP in patients presenting with persistent ischemia after primary PCI is a plausible concept," he maintained, adding that his pilot study of 100 patients is the first to show a trend ...

Compared with standard medical care, early use of a temporary intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to support heart function in patients who were critically ill with cardiogenic shock caused by heart ...

Researchers report that the elective use of IABP during PCI was associated with a 34% reduction in the risk of death after a median follow-up of 51 months. They were cautious in interpreting the ...

In the ALTShock-2 trial, researchers tested whether early intervention with an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) would improve survival and treatment transition in patients hospitalized with ...

An intra-aortic balloon pump is a temporary treatment that helps the heart pump enough blood around the body if it cannot do it by itself.

To evaluate the accuracy of blood pressure (BP) measured non-invasively (NIBP) compared with invasive arterial BP (IABP) measured by umbilical arterial catheter in neonates undergoing therapeutic ...

The AC3 Range™ IABP combines the simple interface and proprietary algorithms of the AC3 Optimus™ IABP to deliver the same precisely timed support 1 with features designed specifically for ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the device most frequently used as a bridge to surgical repair ...
