Why the study?
Does an intra-aortic balloon pump improve hemodynamics and left ventricular function in a patient with severe heart failure secondary to 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid?
Does an intra-aortic balloon pump improve hemodynamics and left ventricular function in a patient with severe heart failure secondary to 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid?
An intra-aortic balloon pump can provide effective left ventricular support in patients with severe nonischemic heart failure induced by 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid when medical therapy fails.
