Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation in a community hospital

JB Singh, P Connelly, S Kocot, P Kotilainen, WM Daggett and MJ Buckley

Our experience with intraaortic balloon counterpulsation in 41 patients documents the feasibility of a coordinated aggressive therapeutic approach in patients with potentially fatal complications of coronary artery disease. The use of intraaortic balloon pump in a non-cardiac surgical center has allowed hemodynamic support in the critically ill, safety in angiography, appropriate selection of patients for surgery, and safe transportation to a cardiac surgery center when indicated.
