title: Strategy for treatment of acute evolving myocardial infarction with pulsatile left heart assist device. Can this modality increase survival and enhance myocardial salvage?
abstract: 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.
