Pulmonary artery balloon counterpulsation was used in 3 patients who underwent open-heart operation for the treatment of acquired cardiac lesions. This form of support was initiated because the patients could not be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass even with intraaortic balloon counterpulsation and maximal pharmacological support. After pulmonary artery balloon pumping was instituted, cardiopulmonary bypass was successfully terminated in all 3 patients. One of them is alive and well one year after operation.
3例接受心脏直视手术治疗后天性心脏病变的患者使用了肺动脉球囊反搏。采用这种支持方式是因为即使使用主动脉内球囊反搏并给予最大程度的药物支持,这些患者仍无法脱离体外循环。在实施肺动脉球囊泵入后,所有3例患者均成功终止了体外循环。其中1例患者术后1年仍存活且状况良好。
