Late paraplegia as a consequence of intraaortic balloon pump support

I R Scott et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1985 Sep.

Abstract

There have been several reports of paraplegia after intraaortic balloon counterpulsation in the surgical literature. In each instance, the paraplegia occurred during the period of counterpulsation support. We describe a patient in whom late paraplegia occurred three days after the removal of an intraaortic balloon catheter.
