Abstract
The hemodynamic effects of dual chambered unidirectional balloon pumping in alternate directions were studied in 44 trials conducted on 8 dogs. Results indicate an increase in cardiac output in normal dogs with downstream pumping by unidirectional intra aortic balloon, which may have important implications for the treatment of low output cardiac failure.
