Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Device Complications

Background:

  • The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a critical device for mechanical circulatory support in patients with cardiac failure.
  • IABP use is associated with potential complications, including device rupture and retention.

Observation:

  • A case of a retained intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) following balloon rupture is presented.
  • Previous methods for retained IABP removal involved direct exposure of femoral vessels.

Findings:

  • This report details the successful removal of a retained IABP via laparotomy and direct aortic exposure.
  • Surgical intervention was necessary due to the complexity of the retained device.

Implications:

  • This case expands the surgical strategies for managing retained intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) complications.
