| Popis: | From June, 1982, through July, 1985, 39 (1.5%) of 2,570 patients undergoing open-heart procedures required insertion of a transthoracic intraaortic balloon pump (IABP). In all of these patients, a percutaneous attempt failed or was contraindicated. There were 24 (62%) men and 15 (38%) women. The mean age was 64.9 years. Five patients (13%) sustained complications potentially related to the transthoracic IABP. They included mediastinal infection in 1 patient (2.5%), balloon rupture in 2 patients (5%), and cerebrovascular accidents in 4 patients (10%). The overall survival was 44%. Survival for the group of patients weaned from transthoracic IABP support was 17 (81%) of 21. There were no deaths directly related to the transthoracic IABP. The transthoracic IABP was removed under local anesthesia without sternotomy in 19 (90%) of the patients weaned and with formal sternotomy in the remaining 2 (9%). In a select group of patients requiring intraaortic balloon counterpulsation, the use of the transthoracic IABP is a reasonable second choice for patients in whom other methods of balloon support are not feasible. |
