Abstract
Devices and methods are provided which involve an improved intra-aortic balloon structure. A safety balloon or safety membrane is mounted within an extension catheter. Helium contained in the safety balloon or membrane can be driven into and out of an intra-aortic balloon by forcing driving fluid into and out of the extension catheter, thereby compressing and decompressing the safety balloon or membrane. A variety of structures are suggested for insuring that the balloon or membrane does not inadvertently block the helium or drive fluid as it moves.
