2. Intra-aortic balloon pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intra-aortic_balloon_pump

   The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device that increases myocardial oxygen perfusion and indirectly increases cardiac output through afterload reduction. It consists of a cylindrical polyurethane balloon that sits in the aorta , approximately 2 centimeters (0.79 in) from the left subclavian artery . [ 1 ]

3. Adrian Kantrowitz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Kantrowitz

   Based on Kantrowitz's theory of "counterpulsation", the device inflated the balloon with helium gas when the heart relaxed and deflated it when the heart pumped blood. [6] [7] The pump did not require surgery and could be inserted using local anesthetic in an emergency room or at a patient's bedside. The device was first used in August 1967 to ...

   [13] [14] [15] In some pulsatile pumps (that use compressed air as an energy source [16]), the volume occupied by blood varies during the pumping cycle. If the pump is contained inside the body then a vent tube to the outside air is required. Continuous-flow VADs are smaller and have proven to be more durable than pulsatile VADs. [17]

6. Impella - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impella

   The pumps are mounted on support catheters and typically inserted through the femoral artery, although axillary and subclavian artery approaches are not uncommon. [12] The Impella Device is a generational extension of the Intra aortic balloon pump (IABP) in addressing cardiogenic shock.

7. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery avoids using the CPB machine by stabilizing small segments of the heart at a time. The surgical team and anesthesiologists must coordinate and take great care to not manipulate the heart too much, lest they compromise the stability of blood flow.

   Brewer said the patient’s heart was engorged and inflated like a balloon. The Impella pump takes blood in the left ventricle of the heart and pumps it across to the aorta, which circulates the ...
