Abstract
The primary purpose of this project was to develop an in vitro environment in which the intraaortic balloon pump and extraaortic balloon pump could be tested and evaluated. This was done by modifying a mechanical heart simulator to accommodate both devices, and developing a software system that could collect and process the data relevant to the operation of the two balloons
