  • Title: [Liver circulation during acute cardiac insufficiency and the use of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation].
    Author: Mordashev BK, Kuznetsov KA, Tkachenko BO.
    Journal: Anesteziol Reanimatol; 1989; (5):18-21. PubMed ID: 2596709.
    Abstract:
    Liver hemodynamics was experimentally studied in a model of acute heart failure caused by successive ligation of coronary artery branches and the following cardiogenic shock and during assisted circulation using intraaortic balloon contrapulsation. It has been established that intraaortic balloon contrapulsation promotes to the elimination of hemodynamic liver disturbances, however no final recovery of the organ hemodynamics was observed after 2 hours of contrapulsation. The method of intraaortic balloon contrapulsation is recommended at early stages of acute heart failure prior to the onset of profound ischemic changes in the liver.
