The intraaortic balloon pump is usually the first mechanical device inserted for perioperative cardiac failure; however, little current information is available regarding short- and long-term effectiveness. From January 1983 through November 1990, 6856 adult patients underwent cardiac surgical procedures, 580 of whom (8.5%) had an intraaortic balloon inserted preoperatively (107 patients), intraoperatively (419 patients), or postoperatively (54 patients). There were 374 men and 206 women with a mean age of 63.9 years (range 19 to 88). Operations included 376 coronary artery bypass grafts, 100 mitral valve replacements (with or without bypass grafting), 70 aortic valve replacements (with or without bypass grafting), 15 double valve replacements (with or without bypass grafting), and 32 other procedures. There were 72 (12.4%) complications related to the balloon pump, of which 42 necessitated surgical intervention including thrombectomy (21), vascular repair (13), fasciotomy (2), aortic repair (1), and amputation (4). Operative mortality for patients supported by the balloon pump was 44%. Multivariate stepwise analysis of 27 parameters revealed six independent predictors of mortality: preoperative New York Heart Association class, transthoracic intraaortic balloon insertion (both p < 0.0001), preoperative administration of intravenous nitroglycerin, age, female gender, and preoperative balloon insertion (p < 0.001). Balloon-related complications were not predictive of death. Of the 326 hospital survivors, only 34 were lost to follow-up. There were 75 late deaths, the cause of which was cardiac in 41 (55%), noncardiac in 20 (27%), and unknown in 14 (19%). Actuarial survivals at 1, 5, and 9 years are 51%, 42%, and 33%. Of the 217 hospital survivors still alive and contacted, 81% were in class I (114) or II (60). These data demonstrate (1) operative mortality for patients requiring an intraaortic balloon in the perioperative period remains high, (2) perioperative risk factors can be identified, (3) complications related to the balloon pump do not affect survival, (4) operative survivors can achieve prolonged survival with excellent functional results, and (5) consideration for alternative methods of circulatory support is justified.
