We utilized a new ventricular assist device, the PulseCath catheter, to perform an off-pump bypass procedure in a patient with low ejection fraction. The 21 Fr PulseCath catheter, driven by a standard intra-aortic balloon pump console, can generate a pulsatile flow of 2-3 l/min. The PulseCath coupled with an intra-aortic balloon pump device is an important tool for left ventricular assistance.
我们使用了一种新型心室辅助装置——脉冲导管（PulseCath catheter），为一名射血分数较低的患者进行了非体外循环搭桥手术。由标准主动脉内球囊反搏控制台驱动的21F脉冲导管，能够产生2至3升/分钟的搏动血流。脉冲导管与主动脉内球囊反搏装置相结合，是左心室辅助的重要工具。
