Abdominal aortic peripheral intervention to facilitate intra-aortic balloon pump support during high risk percutaneous coronary intervention: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) via the trans-femoral approach has been established for hemodynamic support in patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, there are various challenges associated with its use, especially in patients with aortoiliac occlusive arterial disease. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of high-risk PCI with IABP support complicated by intra-procedural detection of severe abdominal aortic stenosis that was successfully overcome with angioplasty of the stenotic lesion. CONCLUSIONS Our report highlights distal abdominal aortic stenosis as a potential barrier to successful PCI with IABP support, and angioplasty as an effective means to overcome it.

The Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) is an established support in addition to pharmacologic treatment of the failing heart after myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cardiac surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The indication for IABP in acute myocardial infarction expanded to include support of severely ill patient during acute cardiac catheterization and myocardial revascu...

INTRODUCTION Intra-aortic balloon pumping is used in elective percutaneous coronary intervention for increasing coronary blood flow. However, intra-aortic balloon pumping may decrease visceral blood flow and cause mesenteric ischemia by visceral artery obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 79-year-old Asian man in whom elective percutaneous coronary intervention was performed...

Percutaneous aortic valvuloplasty is reportedly a useful tool for the management of critical and severe aortic stenosis with cardiogenic shock. However, early percutaneous coronary intervention for cardiogenic shock is beneficial for elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction. We describe a patient with critical aortic stenosis who presented with severe coronary stenosis of the left main...

The goal of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is to decrease the coronary obstruction in a durable manner without compromising or damaging the myocardium so that patients may obtain the clinical benefits from the procedure, namely potentially improved survival in the setting of acute myocardial infarction interventions and improvement in health status for elective interventions. Interven...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been used as a cardiac assist device in various clinical situations since 1968 on the basis of the physiological principles and observational data, with little randomized data until recently. RECENT FINDINGS Recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses have demonstrated acceptable safety for IABP but have r...
