Key result
Intra-aortic balloon pump placement restored blood pressure pulsatility and enhanced LV unloading in 8 of 10 patients with protracted aortic valve closure during V-A ECMO (20% survival to discharge).

Does IABP placement improve LV unloading and reverse protracted aortic valve closure in patients on peripheral V-A ECMO?
IABP placement is an effective hemodynamic solution to reverse protracted aortic valve closure during peripheral V-A ECMO, although survival in this cohort remained low.
Meani et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Protracted aortic valve closure during peripheral V-A ECMO (n=10). Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was evaluated on Recovery of blood pressure pulsatility and enhanced LV unloading. Intra-aortic balloon pump placement restored blood pressure pulsatility and enhanced LV unloading in 8 of 10 patients with protracted aortic valve closure during V-A ECMO (20% survival to discharge).
