Intra‐aortic balloon pump: Looking at the other side [PDF]
AbstractIntra‐aortic balloon pump has been the most commonly employed cardiac assist device in the past, although, in recent years, its use in cardiogenic shock has been questioned. The pathophysiology of the proximal part of the balloon has been well studied, whereas, hemodynamics and flow below the distal portion of the balloon have not been fully ...

Pop the balloon: rapid switch from Intra‐aortic balloon pump to alternate device
When a patient with an intra‐aortic balloon pump needs different support, it is simple to use a stiff 0.018‐inch interventional wire (360 cm) to exchange the balloon for a new sheath.

Redo aortic surgery: Does one versus multiple affect outcomes?Central MessagePerspective
Objective: Redo aortic surgery has a higher risk of morbidity and mortality because it is technically complex due to mediastinal adhesions, infection, and previously implanted prostheses. In this study, we sought to benchmark our single-center experience
