The influence of glucose-insulin-potassium infusion in combination with a mechanical assist device (intraaortic balloon pumping, IABP) on the levels of high energy phosphates in the canine heart after coronary artery ligation was compared with the effect of a separate application of these measures to protect the acute ischaemic myocardium. The combined method normalized the tissue content of creatine phosphate in the nonischaemic tissue contrary to the application of the mechanical or pharmacological assistance alone. In the ischaemic cardiac tissue only the combination of both methods reduced the loss of creatine phosphate, ATP and the sum of adenine nucleotides. With the balloon pumping a reduction in lactate accumulation was achieved, which, however, was significantly lower than that obtained by the combination of heart protective measures: IABP plus glucose-insulin-potassium.

The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a widely-used mechanical circulatory support device that enhances hemodynamics in patients with heart conditions. Although the IABP is a common clinical tool, its effectiveness in enhancing outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock remains disputed. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of intra-aortic dual-balloon pump (IADBP) and its impact on aortic hemodynamics compared with an IABP.

Background: The use of mechanical circulatory support devices for high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has increased over the past decade despite limited data of benefit. We sought to examine the association between intravascular microaxial left ventricular assist device (LVAD) versus intra-aortic balloon pump use in patients without cardiogenic shock (CS) undergoing PCI.

Methods And Results: This retrospective study analyzed claims data from a large, insured population who underwent PCI without CS from April 1, 2016 to July 31, 2022.

Transjugular transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in a patient with functional mitral regurgitation: a case report.

Eur Heart J Case Rep

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Sendai Kousei Hospital, 1-20 Tsutsumidori-amamiya, Aoba Ward, Sendai, Miyagi 9810914, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) using the MitraClip system is usually done via the transfemoral approach, but the transjugular approach can be a viable alternative when the former isn't possible.
  • A 57-year-old man with heart failure and severe functional mitral regurgitation could not undergo the transfemoral approach due to an occluded inferior vena cava, leading to the decision to use the transjugular technique instead.
  • The procedure was successful with no complications, significantly reducing the patient's mitral regurgitation, and he showed sustained improvement a year later.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by systemic hypoperfusion that can quickly progress to multiorgan failure and death. Various devices and configurations of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) exist to support patients, each with unique pathophysiological characteristics. The Intra-aortic balloon pump can improve coronary perfusion, decrease afterload, and indirectly augment cardiac output.

Development of a Self-Deploying Extra-Aortic Compression Device for Medium-Term Hemodynamic Stabilization: A Feasibility Study.

Hemodynamic stabilization is crucial in managing acute cardiac events, where compromised blood flow can lead to severe complications and increased mortality. Conditions like decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock require rapid and effective hemodynamic support. Current mechanical assistive devices, such as intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), offer temporary stabilization but are limited to short-term use due to risks associated with prolonged blood contact.
