pubmed-article:300186 | pubmed:abstractText | In intraoperative cardiac low out-put syndrome balloon implantation through the ascending aorta can be accomplished for secure and rapid installation of IABP, if sternotomy has occurred and successful insertion through the common femoral artery has proven to be impossible. The disadvantage of rethoracotomy for explantation of the balloon catheter can be accepted without additional risk. | lld:pubmed |
