Percutaneous intraaortic balloon pumping: initial experience.

The necessity of surgical procedures for insertion as well as for removal of the balloon catheter remains a serious disadvantage of IABP. The percutaneous technique of insertion and removal of a specially designed balloon catheter is therefore of a great interest. Our initial clinical experience shows that this is simple, rapid and safe and can be performed at the bedside in a few minutes by any physician experienced with arterial catheterization. Its hemodynamic efficiency is identical. No specific complications were encountered although two cases of pulmonary embolism were recorded. A causal relationship between pulmonary embolism and the percutaneous removal of a balloon catheter must therefore be considered.

[Risk factors, postoperative mortality and morbidity in pulmonary surgery].

In this retrospective study, the influence of preoperative risk factors on mortality and morbidity after pulmonary surgery is analysed. Sixty-five consecutive pulmonary resections are studied and compared with data from the literature. Age and lung function abnormalities are well known risk factors but a severe selection minimizes their negative effects: a good cardio-circulatory condition and the prediction of an acceptable postoperative lung function allows a mortality reduction down to 5% and minimizes the frequency of postoperative respiratory insufficiency. The importance of a good preoperative training of the patient and of the early detection and immediate treatment of any postoperative complication are stressed.
