Prevention of balloon damage during initiation of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Damage to an intra-aortic balloon occurred on two occasions in 93 insertion procedures. The complication was recognized before gas embolization occurred, and neither patient suffered ill effects. On both occasions the balloon was holed when pinched by artery forceps applied to the 'dacron' graft.

Prevention of Possible Embolus Following Intra Aortic Balloon Counterpulsation (IABP) Insertion by Transesophageal Echocardiography ( TEE )
Severe atherosclerosis of the descending aorta is directly related to atheroembolic events. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a sensitive technique for evaluating such atheroma plaques of the thoracic aorta which may predict the risk of emboli. We describe a patient with severe intraluminal aortic atherosclerotic plaques detected by TEE while positioning an Intraaortic Balloon Counterpu...
متن کامل[Left ventricular rupture of mitral valve prosthesis implantation treated using an intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation].
Left ventricular rupture is an infrequent but potentially fatal complication of mitral valve replacement. In spite of the fact that several methods of repair have previously been described, the mortality rate remains nearly 85%. The use of the intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation may increase the possibilities of success in the repair of this dreaded complication. We present here three ca...
متن کاملIntra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in acute myocardial infarction: too few or too many?
The concept of counterpulsation was introduced over four decades ago by Clauss et al. (1) and adapted to intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) by Moulopaulus et al. (2) in 1962, and it remains the most common mode of cardiac assist. Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABCP) was first introduced into clinical practice by Kantrowitz et al. (3) in 1968 for the treatment of cardiogenic shock. Ini...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Survival in Patients Who Need Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) after Cardiac Surgery
Introduction: Insome cases, assist devices are required to ensure an adequate cardiac output after cardiac surgery. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used cardiac assist device, which provides first-line support for patients with heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine factors affecting the mortality rate of patients receiving IABP. Materials & Methods: In thi...
متن کاملProlonged circulatory support with the intra-aortic balloon pump after myocardial infarction.
Circulation was supported by intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation for 30 and 38 days respectively in two patients with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction. One was flown 1400 km to Cape Town for heart transplantation but died after being weaned from the pump while awaiting a suitable donor. The other underwent successful surgical closure of a ruptured ventricular septum on the ...
