Balloon counterpulsation following surgery for ischemic heart disease.

摘要: Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) was used in 40 patients who developed left ventricular pump failure following surgery for ischemic heart disease. The IABC inserted the operating room 32 patients, and within 36 hours of eight patients. Four could not be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass died room. Of other while on IABC. Twenty-eight (70%) were successfully IABC, although six later hospital. Twenty-two (55%) survived hospitalization. No late deaths have occurred at 5-33 months follow-up (mean 16-4 months). Twenty (91%) 22 survivors are Class I or II time this report. Postoperative occurs because perioperative acute myocardial infarction and/or major preoperative dysfunction. Patients with no prior dysfunction a significantly lower mortality (14%) than do those subsequent (mortality 67%) P less 0.05.
