  • Title: [Percutaneous intra-aortic balloon pumping in cardiogenic shock].
    Author: Wan S, Liu DD, Guo JX.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1994 May; 74(5):290-2, 326. PubMed ID: 7953920.
    Abstract:
    Eleven patients with cardiogenic shock underwent percutaneous intra-aortic balloon pumping (PIABP). Six (55%) survived and 5 (45%) died. Seven patients were referred to the hospital after acute myocardial infarction and 4 of them survived after the therapy in conjunction with thrombolysis or percutaneous transluminal coronary. In another four patients receiving postcardiotomy, half survived without complication. We believe that PIABP can make early revascularization safe by combating reperfusion injury.
