Methods: Some 153 IABP patients in the King Abdulaziz Cardiac Center(KSA) were random-ly assigned into two groups. Anticoagulation group( Group A) consisted of 71 patients who were given heparin intravenously with target aPTT 50 - 70 seconds. Non-anticoagulation group( Group B) consisted of 82 patients without intravenous heparin during balloon pumping. Hematological parameters including platelet count, D-dimer, Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and fibrinogen degradation products(FDP) were checked respectively at the point of baseline, 24 hours, 48 hours and 24 hours post IABP counterpulsation. Clot deposits on balloon surface, vascular complications from IABP including bleeding and limb ischemia were recorded.Results: Platelet count and PAI-1 level decreased at 24 hours and 48 hours in both groups ( P < 0.05) . D-dimer and FDP level increased at 24 hours and 48 hours in both groups( P < 0.05), but returned to the baseline level 24 hours post IABP removal( P > 0.05) . Three patients in Group A and 2 patients in Group B developed minor limb ischemia( P > 0.05). No major limb ischemia in either group. Two patients in Group A suffered major bleeding and required blood transfusion or surgical intervention, whereas no patient had major bleeding in Group B. Eight patients had minor bleeding in Group A, but only 2 patients in Group B ( P <0.05). No clot deposit developed on IABP surface in either group. Conclusion: IABP is safe without routine anticoagulation therapy. Selecting appropriate artery approach and early detection intervention are key methods for preventing complications.展开更多

Until now,there is no unified conclusions about the incidence,characteristics,risk factors and the prognosis of IABP related thrombocytopenia.Methods In this study,the data of patients with ACS undergoing PCI and IABP were retrospectively analyzed.All enrolled patients were divided into thrombocytopenia group and non-thrombocytopenia group according to the occurrence of thrombocytopenia after insertion of IABP. The baseline data of the two groups were compared,and the possible risk factors of thrombocytopenia and their impact on prognosis were analyzed by chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Results Sixty-two patients were enrolled in this study. The rate ofIABP associated thrombocytopenia was 25.8%(16/62)of all patients. Older agewas an independent risk factor of IABP associated thrombocytopenia(OR:3.625;95% confidence interval:1.016-12.935;P=0.047). The incidence of TIMI bleeding events was higher in thrombocytopenia group[75.0%(12/16)vs. 43.5%(20/46),P=0.042]. The rate of in-hospital death was similar between the two groups[18.8%(3/16)vs. 17.4%(8/46),P=1.0]. Conclusion IABP associated thrombocytopenia occurs in 25.8% of patients with ACS undergoing PCI and correlates with increased TIMI bleeding events. Older age may predict IABP associated thrombocytopenia.展开更多

Pre-operative use of intra-aortic balloon pump has been shown to prevent this complication in high risk patients. The role of balloon pump in high risk patients has been questioned by our group. We modified the role of balloon pump in our patients, thus avoiding the conversion to cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods: 4063 off-pump coronary bypass surgeries were performed by a single surgeon in our center, over thirteen years. 130 intra-aortic balloons used between July 2002 and December 2015 were removed from the the-ater, once the distal anastomosis was performed. We studied this group of patients for—time and need for insertion, duration of balloon used, local insertion problems and survival. Results: Initially, we inserted intra-aortic balloons in high risk patients. We observed that, patients with low ejection fraction and patients with critical left main coronary artery disease were not the ones who actually needed balloon pump support. It was the patients who had ongoing ischemia, with preserved left ventricular function, and ST depression intra-operatively, who needed balloon pump support to perform complete anatomical revascularization. Conclusions: Intra-aortic balloon pump has helped us to position the heart without hemodynamic instability, thereby avoiding conversion to cardio-pulmonary bypass. This enabled us to perform off-pump surgery in virtually all areas of the heart, thus maintaining perfect hemodynamics.展开更多

Although intra-...Background Percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） is used as a treatment for acute myocardial infarction （AMI）, and one of its major complications is the angiographic no-reflow phenomenon （NR）. Although intra-aortic balloon pumping （IABP） is sometimes used in such patients to increase the diastolic coronary blood flow, there is little available information regarding the effects of IABP on the angiographic no-reflow phenomenon. Method Twenty-two AMI patient with NR were performed primary PCI between January 2006 and December 2009, of which 12 patients were selected for IABP therapy and the left 10 were selected as the control group by group procedure of odd and even days; We observed the vasoactive substance in both groups on the days of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 after the different interventions, which include plasma renin activity （PRA）, angiotensin Ⅱ （ANG Ⅱ）, aldosterone （ALD）, adrenaline （E）, and noradrenalin （NE）; In addition, cardiac structure and cardiac ventricle systolic function including left atrium medial diameter （LAMD）, left ventricular medial diameter （LVMD） Finally, left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） were evaluated after 10 days, 3 months and 6 months; statistics was taken to analysis. Results According to the time concentration curve, vasoactive substance of the IABP group decreased faster than that of the control group, and this difference had statistical significance （P 〈 0.01 ） ; In terms of LAMD, LVMD, and LVEF, echocardiography difference of the IABP and the control group in 10 days, 3 months, and 6 months also showed statistical significance （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusions IABP can significantly reduce the release of vasoactive substances of NR in patients of primary PCI for AMI; LAMD, LVMD and LVEF in 10 days, 3 months, and 6 months can be improved using this method, which is conducive to recovery of heart function.展开更多

Methods Clinical data of 22 acute myocardial infarction patients after PCI with angiographic no-reflow phenomenon were retrospectively analyzed between January 2006 and December 2009.12 patients underwent IABP, other 10 patients as control group. We observed difference of cardiac structure, brain natriuretic peptide （BNP） and ventricular systolic function between two group, as well as cardiac injury markers （MYO,CK-MB, cTnI） in both groups on the days of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 after the different interventions. In addition, cardiac structure and ventricular systolic function including left atrium medial diameter （LAMD）, left ventricular medial diameter （LVMD）, left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） was evaluated after 10 days, 3 months,6 months Finally, statistics was used to analysis the data. Results The several vasoactive substances as well as cardiac injury markers and LAMD, LVMD, LVEF of 10 days, 3 months, 6 months of IABP group were significant difference with control group significant difference （P 〉 0.0 PCI with angiographic no-reflo （P 〈 0.05）. 5）. Conclusions w phenomenon, BNP targets of IABP group compared with the control group no IABP has effects on prognosis in STEMI patients who performed which is conducive to recovery of heart function.展开更多

In recent years, the preoperative use in patients with severe ventricular dysfunction presents itself as a great benefic strategy to the postoperative recovery. This paper aim is to evaluate the IABP post-operative benefit in patients with severe ventricular dysfunction. Methods: From January 2011 to March 2016, 125 patients underwent a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass and preoperative IABP in Teaching Hospital of the ABC Medical School and Hospital Estadual Mario Covas. The inclusion criteria were the presence of severe ischemic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than or equal to 40%, estimated by Doppler echocardiography using the Simpson method. The preoperative LVEF was 30.25% ± 8.53% and the diastolic diameter of the left ventricle (LVDD) 67.75 ± 16.37 mm. IABP was installed approximately 15 hours before the surgery. Results: The patients required the IABP for 2.4 ± 1.58 days, and vasoactive drugs, 4.8 ± 2.12 days. We performed 3.2 ± 1.9 grafts per patient and the total length of stay was 07 ± 5.52 days. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 67 ± 10.95 minutes and anoxia time, 46.4 ± 10.06 minutes. Twelve patients (9.6%) had pneumonia and four (3.2%), atrial fibrillation. We observed a LVDD reduction to 63 ± 16.26 (p = 0.068) and LVEF enhancement to 36.50 ± 16.86 (p = 0.144). The data were analyzed statistically according to the Wilcoxon test. There were no deaths. Conclusion: The initial experience of the authors with the preoperative IABP in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction suggests great benefit in post-operative recovery with im-provement of LVEF and reduction of LVDD.展开更多

We can use it at different stages of perioperative period in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG）. However, when to used it was seldom confirmed. Methods From January 2008 to June 2012, the 89 coronary heart disease （CHD） patients accepted implantation of IABP at different stages of off-pump CABG, preoperative and postoperative ventricular systolic function, left ventricular remodeling situation and the changes of myocardial enzymes were evaluated. Results All the patients had left heart insufficiency and muhivessel disease. Their postoperative left ventricular systolic function and ventricular remodeling were significantly improved while myocardial enzymes decreased with preoperative interventional implantation of IABP. The perioperative mortality was 7.86% （7/89）. No patients had complication of IABP. Conclusion Earlier IABP implantation at preoperation is useful to improve heart function, improve the tolerability of surgery, reduce the incidence of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome （LCOS） and decrease the mortality.展开更多

However, little evidence is available on the optimal order of IABP insertion and primary PCI. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the sequence of IABP support and PC1 and its association with major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events （MACCEs）. Methods： Data were obtained from 218 consecutive patients with CS due to STEMI in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between 2008 and 2014% who were treated with 1ABP and PCI. The patients were divided into two groups： Group A in whom IABP received before PCI （n = 106） and Group B in whom IABP received after PCI （n = 112）. We evaluated the myocardial perfusion using myocardial blush grade and resolution of ST-segment elevation. The primary endpoint was 12-month risk of MACCE. Results： Most baseline characteristics were similar in patients between the two groups. However, patients received 1ABP before PCI were associated with a delay of door-to-balloon time （DBT） and higher troponin I level （P 〈 0.05）. However, myocardial perfusion was significantly improved in patients treated with IABP before PCI （P 〈 0.05）. Overall, IABP support before PCI was not associated with significantly lower risk of MACCE （P 〉 0.05）. In addition, risk of all-cause mortality, bleeding, and acute kidney injury （AKI） was similar between two groups （P 〉 0.05）. Multivariate analysis showed that DBT （odds ratio [OR] 2.5, 95% confidence interval [C/] 1.1-4.8, P=0.04）, lABP support after PCI （OR 5.7, 95% Cl 2.7-8.4, p〈0.01）, and AKI （OR 7.4, 95% CI 4.9 10.8, P- 0.01） were the independent predictors of mortality at 12-month follow-up. Conclusions： Early IABP insertion before primary PCI is associated with improved myocardial perfusion although DBT increases. IABP support before PCI does not confer a 12-month clinical benefit when used for STEMI with CS.展开更多

There are no published reports about the use of IABP in elderly Chinese patients, especially for those over 80 years old. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes, influencing factors, and complications in patients 〉80 years old and requiring IABP. Methods We performed a retrospective study of 134 consecutive patients who received IABP therapy. Based on age, we defined two groups; those 〉80 years old and those 〈80 years old. Results The overall mortality was 41.8%. Patients -〉80 years old had higher mortality rates than those 〈80 years old （47.9% vs. 30.2%）. Patients 〉80 years old had fewer successful revascularizations （45.8%） and more pulmonary infections （47.9%） than patients 〈80 years old （60.3% and 30.2%, respectively）; these differences were statistically significant. The most common non-cardiac complication was pulmonary infection. Cardiogenic shock and pulmonary infection were risk factors for all-cause, in-hospital mortality, whereas revascularization success was a negative risk factor for the -〉80 years old patients. Conclusions IABP may be successfully and safely employed in patients 〉80 years old, having severe heart disease, with few complications. Patients 〉80 years old who need IABP therapy are less likely to have a successful revascularization and are more likely to develop pulmonary infections than patients 〈80 years old.展开更多

However, few studies have been done with regard to the clinical outcome and safety of IABP in assisting PCI in aged patients with ACS. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the safety of tABP in different age groups of patients with ACS.Methods Data on 292 ACS patients who received IABP-assisted PCI in Shenyang General Hospital of People＇s Liberation Army were retrospectively analyzed. More specifically, the successful rate, mortality and complications associated with the treatment were compared between the senior （〉60 years old） and the non-senior （〈60 years old） groups of patients. Results The attack rate of non-ST segment elevation ACS was significantly higher in the senior group than in the non-senior group （38.8% vs 21.1%, P 〈0.01）.

文摘BACKGROUND Pheochromocytoma(PHEO)is a type of tumor that originates from chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla and is classified as an adrenal paraganglioma.PHEOs can secrete catecholamines,leading to a variety of symptoms.Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection are crucial for favorable outcomes in these cases.CASE SUMMARY The patient presented with unexplained chest tightness,palpitations,and pink sputum.Upon examination and analysis of laboratory results,a diagnosis of adrenal PHEO was established.The PHEO secreted high levels of catecholamines,causing sudden fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate,leading to extre-mely unstable hemodynamics.Treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation helped stabilize the patient’s vital signs,allowing for timely surgical intervention.CONCLUSION The combination of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation can enhance tissue perfusion,thus providing a solid foundation for the accurate diagnosis and effective surgical treatment of PHEO.
文摘Background Acute Myocardial Infarction(AMI)is a critical and commonly encountered condition in the field of cardiovascular medicine.When AMI is complicated by cardiogenic shock(CS),the clinical scenario becomes significantly more complex and perilous,with a marked increase in patient mortality.Currently,traditional thera-peutic approaches such as intra-aortic balloon pumping(IABP)have demonstrated efficacy in improving myocardi-al perfusion and hemodynamics.However,the supportive capacity of IABP is limited in patients with severe heart failure.In recent years,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO),as an advanced extracorporeal circulatory support technology,has been increasingly utilized in clinical practice,offering a novel therapeutic option for pa-tients with severe heart failure.This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of combining IABP and ECMO in patients with AMI complicated by CS,evaluating its impact on myocardial injury,hemodynamic stability,and clinical outcomes.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 52 patients with AMI compli-cated by CS admitted to our hospital between May 2023 and May 2024.Based on the treatment methods,the pa-tients were divided into an ECMO group(n=26)and a non-ECMO group(n=26).Post-treatment comparisons were made between the two groups regarding myocardial injury markers such as cardiac troponin I,lactate,and creatine kinase-MB,hemodynamic parameters such as mean arterial pressure,cardiac output,and central venous pressure,and the incidence of complications such as acute kidney injury,bleeding,infection.The primary endpoint of this study was the post-treatment mortality rate and the incidence of complications.Secondary endpoints included changes in myocardial injury markers[cardiac troponin I(cTnI),lactic acid(LAC),creatine kinase isoenzymes(CK-MB)]and improvements in hemodynamic parameters[mean arterial pressure(MAP),cardiac output(CO),central venous pressure(CVP)].The results of multivariate regression analyses were used to explore the incidence of EC-MO complications.Results After treatment,the levels of myocardial injury markers such as cTnI,LAC,and CK-MB in ECMO group were significantly lower than non-ECMO group(P<0.05);MAP and CO in ECMO group were significantly higher than non-ECMO group,while CVP was significantly lower(P<0.05);the mortality rate and the incidence of complications in ECMO group were lower than non-ECMO group(P<0.05).Further multivariate re-gression analysis showed that age,smoking,hyperlipidaemia and diabetes could affect the incidence of ECMO complications(P<0.05).Conclusions The combined use of IABP and ECMO exhibits substantial therapeutic benefits,including the mitigation of myocardial injury,enhancement of hemodynamic stability,and improvement in clinical prognosis among patients with AMI complicated by CS.Clinicians applying ECMO therapy should pay particular attention to older patients or those with concomitant diabetes mellitus or hyperlipidemia,as they might re-quire more intensive monitoring and prophylactic measures to mitigate the occurrence of complications.

文摘Background:An intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP)is the device most frequently used as a bridge to surgical repair in cases of myocardial infarction.However,robust evidence of IABP support for patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture(VSR)remains lacking.This study was aimed at assessing the effect of IABP support on 30-day progno-sis in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)complicated by VSR.Methods:Retrospective data for patients with VSR after AMI at Fuwai Hospital between April 2002 and August 2020 were analyzed.Patients were initially stratified into two groups according to IABP implantation.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine the cumulative incidence of 30-day all-cause mortality.Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the independent risk factors for 30-day mortality.Results:A total of 92 patients(mean age of 67.8±8.3 years;46.7%male)were included,59 of whom underwent IABP implantation.Patients with rather than without IABP treatment were younger,were more often male,and had a higher body mass index and lower mean blood pressure at the onset of VSR.At 30 days,all-cause death occurred in 21 patients in the IABP group(35.59%)and 31 patients in the group without IABP(93.94%).After adjustment for age,sex,left atrial diameter,left ventricular diameter,perforation diameter and ventricular aneurysm,IABP support was found to be an independent protective predictor of 30-day all-cause mortality(hazard ratio:0.22;95%confidence interval:0.12 to 0.42;P<0.001).Conclusions:IABP support was associated with lower 30-day mortality in patients with VSR after AMI.Patients with postinfarction VSR with hemodynamic instability or cardiogenic shock could receive IABP treatment as a bridge to surgical repair.
文摘Objective: To investigate if intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP) is contraindicated without anticoag-ulation therapy. Methods: Some 153 IABP patients in the King Abdulaziz Cardiac Center(KSA) were random-ly assigned into two groups. Anticoagulation group( Group A) consisted of 71 patients who were given heparin intravenously with target aPTT 50 - 70 seconds. Non-anticoagulation group( Group B) consisted of 82 patients without intravenous heparin during balloon pumping. Hematological parameters including platelet count, D-dimer, Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and fibrinogen degradation products(FDP) were checked respectively at the point of baseline, 24 hours, 48 hours and 24 hours post IABP counterpulsation. Clot deposits on balloon surface, vascular complications from IABP including bleeding and limb ischemia were recorded.Results: Platelet count and PAI-1 level decreased at 24 hours and 48 hours in both groups ( P < 0.05) . D-dimer and FDP level increased at 24 hours and 48 hours in both groups( P < 0.05), but returned to the baseline level 24 hours post IABP removal( P > 0.05) . Three patients in Group A and 2 patients in Group B developed minor limb ischemia( P > 0.05). No major limb ischemia in either group. Two patients in Group A suffered major bleeding and required blood transfusion or surgical intervention, whereas no patient had major bleeding in Group B. Eight patients had minor bleeding in Group A, but only 2 patients in Group B ( P <0.05). No clot deposit developed on IABP surface in either group. Conclusion: IABP is safe without routine anticoagulation therapy. Selecting appropriate artery approach and early detection intervention are key methods for preventing complications.
文摘Background Extra-corporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO)and intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) are widely used in patients with severe circulatory failure. The decision to initiate ECMO and IABP on optimal occasion in postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS) remains controversial in the absence of guidelines.

文摘Background Thrombocytopenia is a common complication of IABP. Until now,there is no unified conclusions about the incidence,characteristics,risk factors and the prognosis of IABP related thrombocytopenia.Methods In this study,the data of patients with ACS undergoing PCI and IABP were retrospectively analyzed.All enrolled patients were divided into thrombocytopenia group and non-thrombocytopenia group according to the occurrence of thrombocytopenia after insertion of IABP. The baseline data of the two groups were compared,and the possible risk factors of thrombocytopenia and their impact on prognosis were analyzed by chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Results Sixty-two patients were enrolled in this study. The rate ofIABP associated thrombocytopenia was 25.8%(16/62)of all patients. Older agewas an independent risk factor of IABP associated thrombocytopenia(OR:3.625;95% confidence interval:1.016-12.935;P=0.047). The incidence of TIMI bleeding events was higher in thrombocytopenia group[75.0%(12/16)vs. 43.5%(20/46),P=0.042]. The rate of in-hospital death was similar between the two groups[18.8%(3/16)vs. 17.4%(8/46),P=1.0]. Conclusion IABP associated thrombocytopenia occurs in 25.8% of patients with ACS undergoing PCI and correlates with increased TIMI bleeding events. Older age may predict IABP associated thrombocytopenia.
文摘Objective: Hemodynamic deterioration during positioning of the heart has been the most critical complication of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. Pre-operative use of intra-aortic balloon pump has been shown to prevent this complication in high risk patients. The role of balloon pump in high risk patients has been questioned by our group. We modified the role of balloon pump in our patients, thus avoiding the conversion to cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods: 4063 off-pump coronary bypass surgeries were performed by a single surgeon in our center, over thirteen years. 130 intra-aortic balloons used between July 2002 and December 2015 were removed from the the-ater, once the distal anastomosis was performed. We studied this group of patients for—time and need for insertion, duration of balloon used, local insertion problems and survival. Results: Initially, we inserted intra-aortic balloons in high risk patients. We observed that, patients with low ejection fraction and patients with critical left main coronary artery disease were not the ones who actually needed balloon pump support. It was the patients who had ongoing ischemia, with preserved left ventricular function, and ST depression intra-operatively, who needed balloon pump support to perform complete anatomical revascularization. Conclusions: Intra-aortic balloon pump has helped us to position the heart without hemodynamic instability, thereby avoiding conversion to cardio-pulmonary bypass. This enabled us to perform off-pump surgery in virtually all areas of the heart, thus maintaining perfect hemodynamics.
文摘INTRODUCTION The intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP)is commonly used as a cardiac assist device in various clinical situations,including cardiogenic shock,mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction,high risk percutaneous coronary interventions(PCI),coronary artery bypass graft surgery and refractory unstable angina,etc.However,like other invasive devices,the use of IABP has been associated with some complications.The most frequently reported complications are hemorrhage and limb ischemia.Rare complications include infection,arterial perforation,aortic dissection and thrombocytopenia and bowel infarction.Arterial embolism of internal organs is a rare but fatal complication of IABP therapy.Sirbu et al.reported that 59%of patients who developed ischemic vascular complications due to IABP died1.
文摘Background Percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） is used as a treatment for acute myocardial infarction （AMI）, and one of its major complications is the angiographic no-reflow phenomenon （NR）. Although intra-aortic balloon pumping （IABP） is sometimes used in such patients to increase the diastolic coronary blood flow, there is little available information regarding the effects of IABP on the angiographic no-reflow phenomenon. Method Twenty-two AMI patient with NR were performed primary PCI between January 2006 and December 2009, of which 12 patients were selected for IABP therapy and the left 10 were selected as the control group by group procedure of odd and even days; We observed the vasoactive substance in both groups on the days of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 after the different interventions, which include plasma renin activity （PRA）, angiotensin Ⅱ （ANG Ⅱ）, aldosterone （ALD）, adrenaline （E）, and noradrenalin （NE）; In addition, cardiac structure and cardiac ventricle systolic function including left atrium medial diameter （LAMD）, left ventricular medial diameter （LVMD） Finally, left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） were evaluated after 10 days, 3 months and 6 months; statistics was taken to analysis. Results According to the time concentration curve, vasoactive substance of the IABP group decreased faster than that of the control group, and this difference had statistical significance （P 〈 0.01 ） ; In terms of LAMD, LVMD, and LVEF, echocardiography difference of the IABP and the control group in 10 days, 3 months, and 6 months also showed statistical significance （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusions IABP can significantly reduce the release of vasoactive substances of NR in patients of primary PCI for AMI; LAMD, LVMD and LVEF in 10 days, 3 months, and 6 months can be improved using this method, which is conducive to recovery of heart function.
文摘Background To investigate the effect of intra-aortic balloon pumping （IABP） on no-reflow phenomenon primary percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction （STEMI）. Methods Clinical data of 22 acute myocardial infarction patients after PCI with angiographic no-reflow phenomenon were retrospectively analyzed between January 2006 and December 2009.12 patients underwent IABP, other 10 patients as control group. We observed difference of cardiac structure, brain natriuretic peptide （BNP） and ventricular systolic function between two group, as well as cardiac injury markers （MYO,CK-MB, cTnI） in both groups on the days of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 after the different interventions. In addition, cardiac structure and ventricular systolic function including left atrium medial diameter （LAMD）, left ventricular medial diameter （LVMD）, left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） was evaluated after 10 days, 3 months,6 months Finally, statistics was used to analysis the data. Results The several vasoactive substances as well as cardiac injury markers and LAMD, LVMD, LVEF of 10 days, 3 months, 6 months of IABP group were significant difference with control group significant difference （P 〉 0.0 PCI with angiographic no-reflo （P 〈 0.05）. 5）. Conclusions w phenomenon, BNP targets of IABP group compared with the control group no IABP has effects on prognosis in STEMI patients who performed which is conducive to recovery of heart function.
文摘Background: The intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) is the most used ventricular mechanical assist device. In recent years, the preoperative use in patients with severe ventricular dysfunction presents itself as a great benefic strategy to the postoperative recovery. This paper aim is to evaluate the IABP post-operative benefit in patients with severe ventricular dysfunction. Methods: From January 2011 to March 2016, 125 patients underwent a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass and preoperative IABP in Teaching Hospital of the ABC Medical School and Hospital Estadual Mario Covas. The inclusion criteria were the presence of severe ischemic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than or equal to 40%, estimated by Doppler echocardiography using the Simpson method. The preoperative LVEF was 30.25% ± 8.53% and the diastolic diameter of the left ventricle (LVDD) 67.75 ± 16.37 mm. IABP was installed approximately 15 hours before the surgery. Results: The patients required the IABP for 2.4 ± 1.58 days, and vasoactive drugs, 4.8 ± 2.12 days. We performed 3.2 ± 1.9 grafts per patient and the total length of stay was 07 ± 5.52 days. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 67 ± 10.95 minutes and anoxia time, 46.4 ± 10.06 minutes. Twelve patients (9.6%) had pneumonia and four (3.2%), atrial fibrillation. We observed a LVDD reduction to 63 ± 16.26 (p = 0.068) and LVEF enhancement to 36.50 ± 16.86 (p = 0.144). The data were analyzed statistically according to the Wilcoxon test. There were no deaths. Conclusion: The initial experience of the authors with the preoperative IABP in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction suggests great benefit in post-operative recovery with im-provement of LVEF and reduction of LVDD.

文摘Background Intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） has been widely used at present. We can use it at different stages of perioperative period in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG）. However, when to used it was seldom confirmed. Methods From January 2008 to June 2012, the 89 coronary heart disease （CHD） patients accepted implantation of IABP at different stages of off-pump CABG, preoperative and postoperative ventricular systolic function, left ventricular remodeling situation and the changes of myocardial enzymes were evaluated. Results All the patients had left heart insufficiency and muhivessel disease. Their postoperative left ventricular systolic function and ventricular remodeling were significantly improved while myocardial enzymes decreased with preoperative interventional implantation of IABP. The perioperative mortality was 7.86% （7/89）. No patients had complication of IABP. Conclusion Earlier IABP implantation at preoperation is useful to improve heart function, improve the tolerability of surgery, reduce the incidence of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome （LCOS） and decrease the mortality.
文摘The effects of intra-aortic balloon pumping(IABP) on hemodynamic parameters inthe kidney were studied. The pulse produced by pumping activated the renal nervoussystem and reduced the renal vascular resistance. Therefore, the reduction of the renalvascular resistance is an important reason for the increase the renal blood flow duringintra-aortic balloon pumping.
文摘Objective: to adopt evidence-based nursing intervention in the treatment of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation and observe the effect of this method on the motor function of patients. Methods: patients from February 2020 to February 2021 were selected as observation objects and divided into the first group (using basic nursing intervention) and the second group (using evidence-based nursing intervention). Results: in the comparison of quality of life and emotional state between the first group and the second group, the first group was 85.31±4.17 (min), 58.35±3.16 (min), and the second group was 93.82±4.13 (min), 41.22±3.69 (min), (t = 13.130, P = 0.000), respectively. There were differences between the two groups. Conclusion: evidence-based nursing intervention in the treatment of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation is effective and worthy of recommendation.
文摘Background： Previous studies showed that patients with cardiogenic shock （CS） from ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction （STEMI） supported by intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） before primary percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） decreased the risk of in-hospital mortality than patients who received IABP after PCI. However, little evidence is available on the optimal order of IABP insertion and primary PCI. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the sequence of IABP support and PC1 and its association with major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events （MACCEs）. Methods： Data were obtained from 218 consecutive patients with CS due to STEMI in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between 2008 and 2014% who were treated with 1ABP and PCI. The patients were divided into two groups： Group A in whom IABP received before PCI （n = 106） and Group B in whom IABP received after PCI （n = 112）. We evaluated the myocardial perfusion using myocardial blush grade and resolution of ST-segment elevation. The primary endpoint was 12-month risk of MACCE. Results： Most baseline characteristics were similar in patients between the two groups. However, patients received 1ABP before PCI were associated with a delay of door-to-balloon time （DBT） and higher troponin I level （P 〈 0.05）. However, myocardial perfusion was significantly improved in patients treated with IABP before PCI （P 〈 0.05）. Overall, IABP support before PCI was not associated with significantly lower risk of MACCE （P 〉 0.05）. In addition, risk of all-cause mortality, bleeding, and acute kidney injury （AKI） was similar between two groups （P 〉 0.05）. Multivariate analysis showed that DBT （odds ratio [OR] 2.5, 95% confidence interval [C/] 1.1-4.8, P=0.04）, lABP support after PCI （OR 5.7, 95% Cl 2.7-8.4, p〈0.01）, and AKI （OR 7.4, 95% CI 4.9 10.8, P- 0.01） were the independent predictors of mortality at 12-month follow-up. Conclusions： Early IABP insertion before primary PCI is associated with improved myocardial perfusion although DBT increases. IABP support before PCI does not confer a 12-month clinical benefit when used for STEMI with CS.
文摘Background Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation （IABP） is a mechanical cardiac-assist device that is used for cardiac support. There are no published reports about the use of IABP in elderly Chinese patients, especially for those over 80 years old. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes, influencing factors, and complications in patients 〉80 years old and requiring IABP. Methods We performed a retrospective study of 134 consecutive patients who received IABP therapy. Based on age, we defined two groups; those 〉80 years old and those 〈80 years old. Results The overall mortality was 41.8%. Patients -〉80 years old had higher mortality rates than those 〈80 years old （47.9% vs. 30.2%）. Patients 〉80 years old had fewer successful revascularizations （45.8%） and more pulmonary infections （47.9%） than patients 〈80 years old （60.3% and 30.2%, respectively）; these differences were statistically significant. The most common non-cardiac complication was pulmonary infection. Cardiogenic shock and pulmonary infection were risk factors for all-cause, in-hospital mortality, whereas revascularization success was a negative risk factor for the -〉80 years old patients. Conclusions IABP may be successfully and safely employed in patients 〉80 years old, having severe heart disease, with few complications. Patients 〉80 years old who need IABP therapy are less likely to have a successful revascularization and are more likely to develop pulmonary infections than patients 〈80 years old.

文摘Background:There are few reports of peri-operative application of intra-aortic balloon pumping(IABP)in patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)and different grades of left ventricular dysfunction.This study aimed to analyze the early outcomes of perioperative application of IABP in coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG)among patients with CAD and left ventricular dysfunction,and to provide a clinical basis for the peri-operative use of IABP.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 612 patients who received CABG in the General Hospital of People's Liberation Army between May 1995 and June 2014.Patients were assigned to an IABP or non-IABP group according to their treatments.Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the influence of peri-operative IABP implantation on in-hospital mortality.Further subgroup analysis was performed on patients with severe(ejection fraction[EF]≤35%)and mild(EF=36%-50%)left ventricular dysfunction.Results:Out of 612 included subjects,78 belonged to the IABP group(12.7%)and 534 to the non-IABP group.Pre-operative left ventricular EF(LVEF)and EuroSCOREII·predicted mortality was higher in the IABP group compared with the non-IABP group(P<0.001 in both cases),yet the two did not differ significantly in terms of post-operative in-hospital mortality(P=0.833).Regression analysis showed that IABP implantation,recent myocardial infarction,critical status,non-elective operation,and postoperative ventricular fibrillation were risk factors affecting in-hospital mortality(P<0.01 in all cases).Peri-operative IABP implantation was a protective factor against in-hospital mortality(P=0.0010).In both the severe and mild left ventricular dysfunction subgroups,peri-operative IABP implantation also exerted a protective role against mortality(P=0.0303 and P=0.0101,respectively).Conclusions:Peri-operative IABP implantation could reduce the in-hospital mortality and improve the surgical outcomes of patients with CAD with both severe and mild left ventricular dysfunction.
文摘Background Outcomes in patients requiring coronary artery bypass graft （CABG） surgery have been improved with devices such as the intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP）.Good coronary collateral circulation （CCC） has been shown to reduce mortality in patients with coronary artery disease （CAD）.We aimed to investigate whether poor preoperative CCC grade is a predictor of in-hospital mortality in CABG surgery requiring IABP support.Methods Fifty-five consecutive patients who were undergoing isolated first time on-pump CABG surgery with IABP support were enrolled into this study and CCC of those patients was evaluated.Results Twenty-seven patients had poor CCC and 28 patients had good CCC.In-hospital mortality rate in poor CCC group was significantly higher than good CCC group （14 （50％） vs.4 （13％）,P=0.013）.Preoperative hemoglobin level （OR：0.752; 95％ CI,0.571-0.991,P=0.043）,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （OR：6.731; 95％ CI,1.159-39.085,P=0.034） and poor CCC grade （OR：5.750; 95％ CI,1.575-20.986,P=0.008） were associated with post-CABG in-hospital mortality.Poor CCC grade （OR：4.853; 95％ CI,1.124-20.952,P=0.034） and preoperative hemoglobin level （OR：0.624; 95％ CI,0.476-0.954,P=0.026） were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality after CABG.Conclusion Preoperative poor CCC and hemoglobin are predictors of in-hospital mortality after CABG with IABP support.
文摘Background Currently intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） has been widely used in patients with acute coronary syndrome （ACS） who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI）. However, few studies have been done with regard to the clinical outcome and safety of IABP in assisting PCI in aged patients with ACS. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the safety of tABP in different age groups of patients with ACS.Methods Data on 292 ACS patients who received IABP-assisted PCI in Shenyang General Hospital of People＇s Liberation Army were retrospectively analyzed. More specifically, the successful rate, mortality and complications associated with the treatment were compared between the senior （〉60 years old） and the non-senior （〈60 years old） groups of patients. Results The attack rate of non-ST segment elevation ACS was significantly higher in the senior group than in the non-senior group （38.8% vs 21.1%, P 〈0.01）. The incidence of the IABP-associated complications was not significantly different between both groups （P 〉0.05）.Conclusion The clinical outcome and safety of IABP-assisted PCI in the elderly patients were comparable to that for the non-elderly patients.
