Left ventricular decompression in paediatric veno-arterial extracorporeal life support: Reviewing the evidence. [PDF]
Abstract Veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA ECLS) is crucial for neonatal and paediatric patients with severe circulatory collapse but may cause left ventricular (LV) overload, affecting myocardial recovery and causing complications. Evidence on optimal LV decompression strategies in paediatric patients remains limited.

Descending aortic calcification increases renal dysfunction and in-hospital mortality in cardiac surgery patients with intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation placed perioperatively : a case control study [PDF]
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery increases length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. A significant number of patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures require perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP ...

Counterpulsation–An Alternate Use for the Pulsatile Bypass Pump
The positive effect of counterpulsation on coronary flow is generally accepted. This report describes an experience with the Pulsatile Bypass Pump (PBP)* as a method of providing not only pulsatile perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but also ...

DYNAMICS OF BALLOONS IN INTRAAORTIC COUNTERPULSATION [PDF]
To optimize intraaortic balloon pulsation, the inflation and deflation mechanisms of different intraaortic balloons were studied in a model aorta with pressure volume characteristics approximating those of a natural aorta and in anesthetized dogs by cineangiography.
