Clinical analysis of perioperative application and complications of Intra-aortic Balloon Pump in cardiac surgery

Abstract

Objective To assess the perioperative efficacy and complications of intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP) in patients with cardiac operation. Methods A total of 36 cases with IABP patients from January 2011 to September 2016 were studied in Luhe Hospital of Beijing Affiliated to Capital Medical University, inluding 27 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CAD), 8 patients with valvular heart diseaseand and 1 patient with left atrial myxoma.The clinical data was collected to analyze IABP efficacy and complications. Results There were 10(27.8%) patients died, the mortality rate of CAD patients was lower than that of non-CAD patients(18.5% vs.55.6%, X2=4.615, P=0.032). The related complications after IABP implantation included: 6(16.7%) cases suffered from thrombocytopenia, 3(8.3%) cases with lower limb ischemia, 2(5.6%) cases with lower extremity arterial thromboembolism, 2(5.6%) cases with femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, 2(5.6%) cases with acute pancreatitis, 1(2.8%) cases with intestinal necrosis by mesenteric ischemia, 2(5.6%) cases with gastrointestinal bleeding, 3(8.3%) cases with hemorrhage in puncture site, 4(11.1%) cases of fever, 1(2.8%) case with pipeline leak, and 1(2.8%) case no pressure lumen data.After treatment with IABP, in 26 cases survival patients, the hemodynamic indexes(mean arterial pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure, urine volume) were significantly improved and the amount of dopamine and epinephrine decreased(t=-22.35, 64.41, 53.31, -23.82, 26.07, 14.15 respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion IABP can significantly improve the perioperative efficacy.The active treatment on complications is important to reduce the death induced by IABP.
