Abstrakt: The article discusses improvement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to the ischemic brain tissue after an acute ischemic stroke. Topics include impact of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) counter pulsation on cardiogenic shock setting, enhancement of cerebral perfusion, and better left ventricular function.
