Impact of intra-aortic balloon pump support on cerebral blood flow velocity during venoarterial ECMO.
In patients receiving V-A ECMO, IABP support was associated with reduced MCA mean flow velocity despite unchanged mean arterial pressure, a TCD pattern consistent with a net decrease in cerebral blood flow, potentially related to IABP-induced changes in arterial waveform and cerebral hemodynamics.
