Abstract

Circulatory and cardiac assistance for cardiogenic shock resulting from myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery remains an unsolved problem. The need and benefits of circulatory assistance are evident in the increasing use of the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) for low cardiac output (CO). It is significant that after 20 years of experimentation with various forms of extracorporeal and intracorporeal assist devices and techniques, the intra-aortic balloon (IAB) remains the only widely used and accepted form of assistance in spite of favorable reports on other approaches. But the IAB has serious limitations in its capacity to assist and therefore can be used only for less severe forms of shock. However, it has positively demonstrated that many situations of low output shock are reversible within a matter of hours or days after the initial damage [5, 6, 23].
