What is Intra-aortic balloon pump?

An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device that helps the heart pump blood. It is a long, thin balloon inserted into the aorta (the main artery from the heart). The balloon inflates during diastole (when the heart relaxes) to increase blood flow to the coronary arteries and deflates during systole (when the heart contracts) to reduce the workload of the heart. It's commonly used in patients with heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or during high-risk cardiac procedures to improve cardiac output and reduce myocardial oxygen demand.
