Resumen

A new pulsatile assist device that converts roller pump flow to pulsatile flow has been developed and proven effective through clinical testing. The PAD is also a hemodynamically effective arterial counterpulsator both before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. The PAD has been found to be an important adjunct to the care of critically ill patients undergoing open heart surgery. In addition, in selected patients, the PAD is a reasonable alternative to the elective use of intra aortic balloon pumping.
