| IABP |
a balloon placed inside the aorta - the body's main artery. The balloon is rapidly inflated and deflated in time with the heart's pumping, to increase pumping strength. Normal length of IABP support is hours to days. As heart function improves, IABP support is slowly reduced, then removed. May also be used to reduce complications during angioplasty in high-risk patients - see this page
