Access personalized Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
At Quironsalud Torrevieja Hospital, patients can access Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Support supported by advanced cardiac critical-care facilities and experienced cardiology teams. Established in 2006, the ISO accredited hospital is located in Torrevieja, Spain, and has 119 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.
