Access personalized Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
At Circle Reading Hospital, patients can access Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Support supported by advanced cardiac critical-care facilities and experienced cardiology teams. Established in 2012, the accredited hospital is located in Reading, United Kingdom, and it has adequate bed capacity.
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.
