Is There Still a Role for the Intra-aortic Balloon Pump in the Management of Cardiogenic Shock Following Acute Coronary Syndrome?
The device does retain a minor role in cardiogenic shock management.
World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
The device does retain a minor role in cardiogenic shock management.
We compared the intraoperative and early postoperative myocardial damage and outcome of patients who underwent CABG surgery with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or mini-ECC.
From this we propose another easy-to-manufacture cannula design (opti2CAN) that decreases areas burdened by high WSS, while preserving physiological cerebral flow and favorable hemodynamics. With this novel cannula design, we propose a cannulation option to reduce neurological complications and the prevalence of stroke in high-risk patients after CPB.
