Abstract
It is possible to maintain the circulation in the experimental animal during cardiac arrest for several hours, by means of a catheter-mounted balloon introduced into the left ventricle and driven by an external pump [1–4]. An optimal relationship between left ventricular geometry and capacity on the one hand and intraventricular balloon shape and volume on the other appears to exist [3]. The selection of an optimal balloon shape and volume is not always easy, despite the use of echocardiography prior to its insertion [4]. Thus, additional pumping into the aorta may be needed [4].
