The intraaortic balloon pump is the most common method of left ventricular support in use today. Various types of ventricular assist devices and centrifugal pumps are also used at many institutions for both single and biventricular support. Balloon pump technology can also be used to support the right ventricle, as we were able to recently demonstrate in a successful application of concomitant aortic and pulmonary artery balloon counterpulsation.
Key words: intra-aortic balloon pump / pulmonary artery / bi-ventricular assist / case study / literature review
