Between March 1988 and October 1990, intraaortic ballon pumping (IABP) was attempted in 52 cardiac surgical patients. The indications for IABP consisted of unsuccessful discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass (27 %), postoperative low cardiac output or hemodynamic instability (71 %), preoperative unstable angina pectoric unresponsive to pharmacological treatment (2 %). Immediate mortality was 28 %. The overall survival was 63 %. Complications related to IABP occurred in 12 patients (28 %). Though originally developed to assist in the nonoperative management of complications of ischemic heart disease, IABP assistance is a valuable technique in the salvage of critically ill patients with severe pump failure after an open heart operation.
