The intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) is being used with increasing frequency during surgical procedures. The standard length of balloon tubing requires the IABP console to be close to the operating table. This creates a possibility of contamination. A longer balloon tubing is described that permits an increased distance between console and operating table without decreasing effective augmentation.
