This can prevent passage of the balloon or result in complications of insertion.3-5 A small group of patients in whom intra-aortic balloon pump can be applied experiences varying degrees of ischemic neuropathy in the leg in which the balloon was inserted. This occurs because subluminal occlusion of the balloon catheter in the femoral artery reduces the flow through that leg. A pulsatile assist device (PAD) was used for diastolic augmentation in a patient in whom an intra-aortic balloon pump could not be inserted.6,7Report of a CaseA 69-year-old man was transferred from another hospital to Mercy Hospital, Des Moines, Iowa, for intra-aortic |
