Abstract
Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsations decrease the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and, subsequently, the left atrial pressure in patients with impaired myocardial function function following myocardial infarction. This paper reports a case of right ventricular infarction in a patient with patency of the oval foramen where the use of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation led to the perpetuation of the right-to-left shunt. © 1991.
