A patient with perinatal cardiomyopathy was greatly benefited physiologically by 7 weeks of intra-aortic balloon pumping. This experience documented that extended pumping can be carried out with only manageable complications. Although the patient survived the hospitalization, she died shortly thereafter of intractable congestive failure. Perinatal cardiomyopathy is a potentially reversible condition. Ventricular assistance by intra-aortic balloon pumping may be sustaining during continued systemic treatment of this entity. Further evaluation for longevity of more advanced congestive heart failure from cardiomyopathies needs further clinical trial.
一名围产期心肌病患者通过7周的主动脉内球囊泵治疗在生理上受益匪浅。这一经验证明，延长泵治疗可以在仅伴有可控并发症的情况下进行。尽管该患者住院期间存活下来，但此后不久死于顽固性充血性心力衰竭。围产期心肌病是一种潜在可逆的病症。在对该病症进行持续的全身治疗期间，主动脉内球囊泵提供的心室辅助可能具有维持作用。对于心肌病导致的更严重充血性心力衰竭患者寿命的进一步评估需要进一步的临床试验。
