To evaluate the ability of a newly designed balloon catheter with check valves to temporarily relieve hemodynamic deterioration in acute aortic regurgitation, we produced an experimental model of acute aortic regurgitation in closed-chest dogs using endomyocardial biopsy forceps. Aortic regurgitation was produced until an increase in aortic pulse pressure of over 50% was achieved. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure rapidly increased after the production of aortic regurgitation. Immediately after the catheter began functioning, pulse pressure decreased from 133 +/- 1 to 78 +/- 5 mm Hg (mean +/- SEM) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure also decreased from 26 +/- 1 to 13 +/- 1 mm Hg. These effects lasted as long as the catheter functioned. Although a mild (21 +/- 8 mm Hg) pressure gradient between the left ventricular peak systolic pressure and the aortic peak systolic pressure was observed when this catheter was used, forward stroke volume was no less than in the group in which the catheter had not been used. These findings suggest that the balloon catheter with check valves may effectively reduce aortic regurgitation.
