Percutaneous intraaortic balloon pumping: initial clinical experience

D Bregman et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1980 Feb.

Abstract

A new intraaortic balloon is described that can be inserted percutaneously through a 12F sheath by the standard Seldinger technique. Insertion and removal are rapid, and the hemodynamics of balloon pumping are similar to our previous clinical experience with standard single- and dual-chambered intraaortic balloons. The initial clinical experience is detailed.
