[Cardiopulmonary percutaneous support. Indications and methods. Part I]

The artificial hearts and cardiopulmonary bypass replace hemodynamic cardiac work. Cardiopulmonary Percutaneous Support (PCSP) and "standby support" we use in the group of patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in the Hemodynamic Laboratory. Active compression-decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a new method that improves cardiopulmonary hemodynamic function in animal-models and humans after cardiac arrest.
