  • Title: Hemodynamic alterations with a reversed unidirectional intra-aortic balloon.
    Author: Pooley RW, Truccone NJ, Spotnitz HM, Parodi EN, Bregman D, Malm JR, Reemtsma K.
    Journal: Med Instrum; 1976; 10(5):239-41. PubMed ID: 967072.
    Abstract:
    The hemodynamic effects of dual-chambered unidirectional balloon pumping in alternate directions were studied in 44 trials conducted on 8 dogs. Results indicate an increase in cardiac output in normal dogs with downstream pumping by unidirectional intra-aortic balloon, which may have important implications for the treatment of low output cardiac failure.
