[The efficacy of the intra-aortic balloon pump for patients with heart failure complicating acute myocardial infarction (author's transl)].
Assisted circulation was carried out with the help of an intra-aortic balloon pump in 22 patients with acute transmural myocardial infarction and heart failure (despite medication). Two patients died in hospital. The combination of the balloon pump and nitrates proved to be particularly effective. The follow-up examination of the survivors showed a distinct pulmonary arterial pressure during ergometry. All of the examined patients revealed extensive akinetic and diskinetic areas, significant stenosis being detectable either in the proximal area of the Ramus descendens anterior or in two or three blood vessels.
