Haemodynamic effects of intra-aortic balloon pumps stratified by baseline pulmonary artery pulsatility index.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) devices are commonly used in patients with heart failure related cardiogenic shock (HF-CS), including those with out-of-proportion right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) is a haemodynamic surrogate for RV performance. We aimed to assess short-term haemodynamic changes in patients with HF-CS following IABP support stratified by baseline PAPi.

Methods and results

This is a single-centre study of 67 consecutive patients with HF-CS who underwent IABP placement between 2020 and 2022. The primary aim was haemodynamic changes of specific variables on pulmonary artery catheter monitoring over 72 h following IABP placement. Secondary aims were clinically significant changes in diuretic regimens, changes in i
