University Hospital utilises Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Therapy in the context of modern mechanical circulatory assistance technology and evidence-based heart care. The hospital, founded in 1842 and accredited with SAC, is located in Basel, Switzerland. It is equipped with 773 beds and serves both local and overseas patients.
IABP therapy can be considered when a temporary method of mechanical support is necessary in patients diagnosed with severe heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or certain high-risk cardiac surgeries. The catheter carrying the balloon device is inserted into the aorta and follows the heart’s phases to improve blood circulation and reduce the heart’s workload.
At Paracelsus Clinic, patients can access Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Support supported by advanced cardiac critical-care facilities and experienced cardiology teams. Established in 1953, the accredited hospital is located in Lustmuhle, Switzerland, and has 95 beds.
An IABP temporarily supports the circulation when the heart cannot pump sufficient blood. A catheter with a balloon is inserted into the aorta, where the balloon inflates and deflates in coordination with the heartbeat to reduce the heart's workload and improve coronary blood flow. The patient's cardiac condition and circulation are continuously monitored.
