Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the usefulness and limitations of the intraaortic balloon pum ping (IABP) in the management of acute myocardial infarction without mechanical defect.
We treated 15 cases with IABP, 11 of which weaned from IABP and survived. IABP produced effective hemodynam is changes in almost all the cases without significant complication, but could not salvage all the cases. We conclude that early use of IABP and additional coronary reperfusion therapy (PTCR or CABG) if necessary are usefull in the management of severe patient with acute myocardial infarction.
