The role of cardiopulmonary support (CPS) in interventional procedures is currently in evolution. The authors review the clinical applications and technical considerations involved in CPS including discussion of indications, hemodynamic effects, complications, and prophylactic versus stand-by techniques. Use of the technique in high risk percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty patients is discussed.
