The use of pulmonary artery balloon counterpulsation (PABC) provided
immediate salvage following cardiac surgical procedures in 2 patients with
biventricular failure in whom inotropic drugs and intraaortic balloon
counterpulsation did not provide sufficient support to allow weaning from
cardiopulmonary bypass. Although both patients eventually died, the
hemodynamic effectiveness of PABC was documented. The various clinical
settings for right ventricular as well as biventricular failure are
reviewed, the currently available options for treatment are summarized, and
the directions for future laboratory investigation and possible clinical
applications are presented.
