Abstract
Using IABP as a surrogate to achieve pulsatile perfusion during CPB contributes significantly to lowered aortic pressure in the distal portion of aorta and impaired tissue perfusion of the kidneys. The results are focusing on effects that may contribute to organ dysfunction and acute kidney injury. Consequently, assessment of perfusion pressure distal to the balloon should be addressed whenever IABP is used during CPB.
