| Abstract | Operations on patients with advanced heart failure carry substantial mortality, but this group has much to gain if they survive. Conventionally, the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is used to assist weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but postischemic stunning may further impair myocardial function. This results in renal shutdown and deranged metabolic status. In established cardiogenic shock, attempted salvage with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) carries a 50% to 75% mortality. To improve outcome in borderline survival situations, we decided to wean directly from CPB to a short-term centrifugal blood pump. |
