Supported “high risk” coronary angioplasty using intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation

Hemodynamic support may be desirable for selected patients with high risk characteristics undergoing elective coronary angioplasty. Twenty-eight high risk patients were studied with elective intraaortic balloon pump support over a recent 30 month period. Their mean age was 66 years; 10 patients were...

Zusammenfassung:Hemodynamic support may be desirable for selected patients with high risk characteristics undergoing elective coronary angioplasty. Twenty-eight high risk patients were studied with elective intraaortic balloon pump support over a recent 30 month period. Their mean age was 66 years; 10 patients were ≥70 years old. Class III or IV angina was present in 23 patients (82%). The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 24% (range 15% to 50%) and was
