Strategy for treatment of acute evolving myocardial infarction with pulsatile left heart assist device. Can this modality increase survival and enhance myocardial salvage?
This article describes the technique of left heart bypass in the treatment of both experimental and clinical acute myocardial infarction. A new technique of closed-chest percutaneous left heart bypass that can be used in patients with acute evolving myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock is also described.
