Abstract Objectives Simultaneous mechanical (MCS) with intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to (ECMO) is common in postcardiotomy (PCS). This study aimed to analyse the effect of concomitant ECMO and IABP therapy on the short-term..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Primary graft failure (PGF) is a common and devastating complication, despite the advances in perioperative treatment. We aim to evaluate the prevalence of PGF and its impact on survival..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The benefit of the combined use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for postcardiotomy shock remains unclear. We aimed to analyse the potential..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Despite the increasing utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, the 4Ts and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) Expert Probability (HEP) scores have not been validated in patients with suspected..
Read MoreAbstract An editorial published in April 2022 discusses the benefits and pitfalls of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) combined with intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) to manage CS. The complete manuscript,..
Read MoreAbstract Background Report the incidence and results of peri-operative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) of patients undergoing mitral valve surgery (MVS) through right mini-thoracotomy (RT) and..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives We aim at identifying the changes in venous blood saturation values that associates intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in cardiac surgery patients with reduced left ventricular function (LVF). Methods..
Read MoreAbstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in cardiogenic shock refractory to inotropic support and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support. Peripheral ECMO can lead to ventricular distention, and IABP..
Read MoreAbstract The modern day CPB circuit consists of a series of tubing, pumps, oxygenator, heat exchanger, and numerous safety and electrical components that allow for complete circulatory support, regulation of..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The role of intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) in high-risk patients undergoing (CABG) surgery remains controversial. We report the 5-year experience from a new Australian centre. Methods We retrospectively analysed..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Aim of the Study Intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used device for circulatory support of patients with heart disease. The aim of this study..
Read MoreAbstract Background Despite advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, functional survival remains low after (OOHCA). (IABP) therapy has recently been shown to augment cerebral blood flow. Whether therapy in the post-resuscitation period improves functional outcomes..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: To assess whether preoperative versus intraoperative insertion of an intra-aortic balloon pump is associated with lower 30-day mortality or reduced length of hospital stay among patients who had..

Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review Intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) has been the most widely used device to help patients recover from circulatory disorder mainly because of cardiogenic shock; however, no evidence-based..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Prophylactic intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (pIABC) is recommended for high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Criteria for high-risk patients benefiting from pIABC are unclear. This study..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) can result in complications due to increased left ventricular (LV) afterload. The percutaneous ventricular assist device (PVAD) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) are both considered..
