Use of percutaneously inserted cardiopulmonary bypass in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
A cardiopulmonary bypass system that can be percutaneously inserted is available. In addition to its use in stabilization of severely hemodynamically compromised patients, it has many uses in cardiology including use as an adjunct to high-risk interventional procedures. The purpose of this report is to communicate our experience with cardiopulmonary bypass in the Catheterization Laboratory and discuss technique, indications, and potential complications.
