    摘要: An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) assembly is configured to be positioned in a patient's descending aorta to provide support to the patient. The IABP assembly includes an expandable member having a distal end and a proximal end and a driveline having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of the driveline is configured to be coupleable to the proximal end of the expandable member. The IABP assembly also includes a first driveline pressure sensor device disposed within the driveline that is configured to generate a first driveline pressure signal communicative of the pressure of the environment external to the driveline. The first driveline pressure sensor device includes a first driveline sensing element that is sensitive to changes in ambient pressure and positioned at or proximate to the distal end of the driveline.
