Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The influence of the 14F Hemopump on coronary hemodynamics in patients with coronary artery disease remains unknown. METHODS: Systemic and coronary hemodynamic measurements were obtained in eight patients among 13 who underwent high-risk coronary angioplasty in our institution with the support of the Hemopump. Coronary blood flow velocity was measured with a 0.014-inch Doppler-tipped guide wire both proximal and distal to the target lesion. RESULTS: Angioplasty decreases the diameter coronary stenosis from 76% +/- 21% to 22% +/- 11%. Hemopump support did not change systemic hemodynamics either before or after angioplasty. During angioplasty Hemopump support decreased the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure from 23.5 +/- 8.5 mm Hg to 18.6 +/- 7 mm Hg (p = 0.013). No changes in either heart rate, mean and systolic aortic pressures, and cardiac index were observed throughout the procedure. After successful angioplasty was performed, the ratio of proximal to distal flow velocity decreased from 2.11 +/- 1 to 1.65 +/- 0.2 (p = 0.05). However, Hemopump did not affect absolute coronary blood flow velocities or the phasic pattern of flow velocities (diastolic systolic velocity ratio, diastolic and systolic velocity integrals) either in proximal or distal locations either before or after angioplasty. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that although the 14F Hemopump produces unloading of the left ventricle, it does not importantly alter coronary hemodynamics when systemic hemodynamics are stable. Whether the Hemopump would maintain or improve coronary blood flow in compromised patients remains to be determined.
