Intraaortic Balloon Pumping in Congestive Heart Failure

  • Chapter
Congestive Heart Failure

Abstract

Today, almost a quarter century since its first trial in patients, the intraaortic balloon pump is the most commonly used cardiac assist device.1 Indeed, intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP) has become standard in coronary care and cardiac surgery facilities, where it has established its role in the management of acute left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. In this chapter, we outline the theoretical concept of diastolic augmentation and summarize early experimental studies that supported the concept and enabled advances toward clinical implementations of cardiac assistance based on this principle. We then discuss the hemodynamic effects of IABP. A critical review of knowledge as to the determinants of the efficacy of IABP follows, setting the stage for consideration of the capabilities and limitations of currently available IABP apparatus.
