Popis: Hemodynamically unstable patients supported by an extracorporeal life support (ECLS) circuit often receive additional support by intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). However, it is not established whether support of the failing heart is improved by adjunctive IABP in both peripheral cannulation (PC) and central cannulation (CC) settings. Seven sheep were supported by an IABP and an ECLS system which were cannulated centrally as well as peripherally. In each cannulation configuration, hemodynamic and cardiac function indices were measured at baseline, ECLS, and ECLS plus IABP. The primary variables were mean coronary artery flow (Qcor), diastolic pressure time index (DPTI), left ventricular (LV) pressure-volume area (PVA), and tension time index (TTI). Additional IABP with ECLS support (CC/PC) decreased LV afterload (LV systolic peak pressure -4%, P
