Spinal cord infarction post cardiac arrest in STEMI: A potential complication of intra-aortic balloon pump use.
Acute Cardiac Care 2016 March
Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is commonly used as a cardiac assist device in various clinical situations: cardiogenic shock, mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction, high risk percutaneous coronary interventions, coronary artery bypass graft surgery and refractory unstable angina and ventricular arrhythmias as bridge to therapy.
