- Title

- Abstract
Pre- and postoperative circulatory support employing ventricular bypass with local heparinization and blood filtration for 5 to 72 hours was conducted in 5 patients with myocardial infarction. All of these patients had critical cardiac conditions due to cardiogenic shock. Postoperative introduction of ventricular bypass support was not effective in 2 patients because of bleeding due to removal of hemorrhagic infarcted myocardium, or because of failure to gain sufficient blood return from the ventricle. However, the preoperative use of ventricular bypass was effective in promoting the ultimate survival of 2 of the 3 patients who underwent surgery.
