Preferred Label : Intra-aortic Balloon Pump Counterpulsation;
NCIt related terms : INTRA-AORTIC BALLOON PUMP THERAPY;
NCIt definition : A type of mechanical circulatory support in which a balloon catheter inserted into
the proximal descending aorta is inflated immediately after aortic valve closure in
diastole and deflated just before aortic valve opening in systole, with the augmentation
of coronary blood flow during diastole increasing coronary blood flow and systemic
perfusion.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A type of mechanical circulatory support procedure in which a balloon catheter
inserted into the proximal descending aorta is inflated immediately after aortic valve

flow and systemic perfusion.;
