Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The beneficial effect of placement of intra-aortic balloon (IAB) pump before revascularization in patients with high-risk coronary anatomy and impaired left ventricular systolic function is documented. However, the conventional insertion of IAB pump via the common femoral artery may be contraindicated or may be even impossible in patients with severe vascular disease. Recently, the percutaneous insertion of IAB via the brachial artery has been shown to be effective and safe in small series of patients with vascular disease undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. The authors report their experience with a patient with aortobifemoral bypass grafts who underwent successful stenting of a trifurcating distal left main stenosis after placement of a 7.5-Fr IAB pump via the left brachial artery. |
