“…With the other hand, proximal insertion site is pressed to stop the bleeding. When the bleeding stops, the pressure by hand is replaced with a static instrument or manual that provides continuous pressure about 30 minutes, giving the flow to the distal as monitored with Doppler (Rodigas & Finnegan 1985, Santa-cruz et al 2006. Furthermore, pressure is given with sandbag of 5-10 lb for 8 hours and ensuring the ipsilateral leg is not moved.…”

Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is often used in patients who undergo high risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, particularly if associated with hemodynamic impairment. However, this device is still underused in this center. In this case report, a 65-year old male patient with triple vessel disease (chronic total occluded left anterior descending artery-LAD, and significant stenoses of left circumflex and right coronary arteries), low ejection fraction and preprocedure blood pressure, was reported to have IABP support applied before PCI. The intervention to penetrate the occluded LAD was not success. After procedure, the patient was observed in intensive care unit. Weaning of IABP was performed after about 30 hours usage, without complication.
