Abstract Dear Editor, We read with great interest the article by Tanaka et al. reporting their institutional experience with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients undergoing surgical repair of acute..
Read MoreAbstract Background Fulminant myocarditis is a severe cardiac condition characterized by rapid progression and high mortality. In recent years, advancements in medical technology, particularly the application of mechanical circulatory support,..
Read MoreAbstract Background Patients supported with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may receive an intra-aortic balloon pump to reduce left ventricular afterload and improve aortic diastolic pressure. However, the effect of this..
Read MoreAbstract Background Heart transplantation remains the gold standard for the treatment of end-stage heart failure, but severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) poses a significant challenge due to the increased risk of..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives We analyzed our data to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and intra-aortic balloon pump use in acute type A aortic dissection repair. Methods..
Read MoreAbstract Background Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation in the perioperative period of cardiac surgery is an auxiliary treatment for cardiogenic shock. However, there is a lack of effective prediction models..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review After more than 50 years from its invention, the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is still one of the most widely used mechanical circulatory support devices to..
Read MoreAbstract Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), which augments coronary blood flow and reduces cardiac afterload, is the most widely used temporary mechanical circulatory support (TMCS) device. It has been used in..
Read MoreAbstract We investigated echocardiographic and hemodynamic effects of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) in 26 patients with cardiogenic shock on veno-arterial membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). Our study demonstrated an 8.1% increase..

Read MoreAbstract The use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) alongside venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in critically ill patients presenting refractory cardiogenic shock raises questions regarding its impact on organs perfusion...
Read MoreAbstract Background The Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) is a widely utilized technique to provide circulatory support for critically ill patients with cardiac dysfunction. While IABP therapy offers clinical benefits, the..
Read MoreAbstract Background/Objectives: Brain ischemia is a frequent complication in patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (va-ECMO) therapy due to hypoperfusion, low oxygenation, and thromboembolism. While concomitant intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy..
Read MoreAbstract Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs) are commonly used circulatory support devices. Mesenteric ischemia is a serious and poorly studied complication of IABP use. Here, we examine six cases of mesenteric..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Various cannulation strategies for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) support are currently in use according to the clinical urgency and experience of the rescuing team. Although central..
Read MoreAbstract Background: This study aims to assess the outcomes and complications of patients who received veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support after cardiac surgery at..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been increasingly used for refractory cardiogenic shock (CS). Although guidelines have downgraded the recommendations for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in CS, escalation from..
Read MoreAbstract Background The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) technique plays a crucial role in providing circulatory support for patients experiencing hemodynamic instability. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety..
Read MoreAbstract Background Evidence supporting with unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients with an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to prevent remains limited, while bleeding risks remain high. Monitoring heparin in this setting with anti-factor..
Read MoreAbstract Machine learning algorithms are frequently used to clinical risk prediction. Our study was designed to predict risk factors of prolonged intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use in patients with coronary..
Read MoreAbstract Axillary artery intra-aortic balloon pump (axIABP) placement has been implemented as a bridging solution before heart transplantation. This study evaluates complications associated with axIABP support and describes an approach..
Read MoreAbstract Background The aim of this study was to determine whether pre-operative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion improves surgical outcomes in high-risk coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. Methods Patients..
Read MoreAbstract Type 1 cardiorenal syndrome is associated with significant excess morbidity and mortality in patients with severe acute decompensated heart failure. Previous trials of vasoactive drugs and ultrafiltration have not..
Read MoreThis 2 hour web seminar is designed for healthcare professionals with a strong understanding of hemodynamics who will be directly responsible for the care of patients requiring IABP therapy. The..
Read MoreIntroduction Patients with the clinical and biochemical signs and symptoms of hypoperfusion secondary to cardiac failure or cardiac arrest carry high short-term mortality. Various mechanical circulatory devices have been developed to..
Read MoreAbstract Background There is limited evidence for the use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in adult patients with a total cavopulmonary, or Fontan circulation. Case summary A patient in..
Read MoreAbstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been increasingly used to treat refractory cardiogenic shock (CS) or cardiac arrest (CA) over the past decades. Peripheral VA-ECMO increases left ventricular (LV)..
Read MoreAbstract Severe right heart failure, often overlooked and challenging to manage, has prompted a growing interest in innovative approaches to provide functional support. This study uses experimentation in large porcine..
Read MoreAbstract The physiologic impact of pulsatile flow (PF) on end-organ perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is controversial. Using an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to maintain PF during CPB for patients..
