Excerpt

Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation was developed as a method to augment diastolic blood pressure and thus increase coronary blood flow and myocardial perfusion.1 We describe a case that illustrates the utility of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in the reduction of myocardial ischemia as demonstrated by cardiac positron emission tomography (PET). …
