| Popis: | Because of its greater ease and rapidity of insertion, the percutaneous intraaortic balloon in many institutions has become the primary method for implementing counterpulsation. We report the results and complications of 113 attempted procedures in a variety of clinical settings. We had a high (93.8 percent) insertion success rate. However, our 18.6 complication rate was similar to the experience reported for the surgical method of insertion. Thus, the original anticipation of reduced complications with this method has not been realized in this and other recent reports. |
