CIRCULATORY AND CORONARY INTRA-AORTIC BALLOON ASSISTANCE PUMP

摘要

A first balloon 11 plugs the aorta 1 during the diastole, upstream of the supraaortic arteries 2, 3. A second balloon 12 insures a propulsion of blood toward the coronaries 6,7. A pump 8 commands the inflation and deflation of the balloons from signals from an ECG and a pressure sensor 13 placed opposite the coronaries 6,7.
