Hemodynamic support in high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions and cardiogenic shock

摘要

Hemodynamic support using extracorporeal membrane oxygenators has been described since the early 1950s [7]. Subsequently, the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was introduced in the early 1960s and has been used increasingly since then (Figure 1). This was followed by the introduction of cardiopulmonary support systems in the 1970s, which used large femoral cannulas to pump femoral venous blood through an oxygenator and then back into the femoral artery. The high percentage of multiorgan complications, however, limited their widespread use.
