At Asan Medical Centre, patients can access Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Support supported by advanced cardiac critical-care facilities and experienced cardiology teams. Established in 1989, the ISO accredited hospital is located in Seoul, South Korea, and has 2700 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.
