Entrapped intraaortic balloon pumps (IABPs) are a rare complication. This review details two cases, highlighting methods for prevention and management of retained IABPs.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Intraaortic balloon pumps (IABPs) are critical mechanical circulatory support devices.
  • Complications associated with prolonged IABP use require careful consideration.

Observation:

  • A 21-year review identified two cases of entrapped IABPs after approximately 10 days of use.
  • Retained balloons were torn, filled with clotted blood, and impacted within the vasculature.

Findings:

  • Forceful removal in one case led to unintentional extraction of iliac and femoral arteries.
  • Tissue plasminogen activator was used to dissolve clot within the balloon in the second case prior to removal.

Implications:

  • This review underscores the importance of vigilance in IABP management.
