[Experimental study on organ perfusion by intraaortic balloon counterpulsation with double balloon catheter].
Newly-developed catheter for the intraaortic balloon counterpulsation with cardio-renal assist was examined on animal model. The catheter consists of two balloon segments between which the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery and the renal artery are to be placed. Statistical comparison on each hemodynamic element was carried out between the catheter (DBC), conventional single balloon catheter (SBC) of the same balloon volume as DBC and no assist (None) groups. There were no significant changes between SBC and DBC in cardiac output, femoral arterial flow and central venous pressure. Renal arterial flow and urinary output were significantly increased in DBC (None 14.4 +/- 3.9, SBC 22.6 +/- 5.6, DBC 31.0 +/- 6.9 ml/min in renal arterial flow, None 33 +/- 9, SBC 64 +/- 14, DBC 78 +/- 20 ml/h in urinary output, p < or = 0.05). After the remodeling adjust to the human stature, a clinical application would be considered.
