(8) The hemodynamic measurements and mitral valve area calculations were performed with and without balloon occlusion of the atrial septal puncture site.(7) This study compares the effects of 60 minutes of ischemic arrest with profound topical hypothermia (10 dogs) on myocardial (1) blood flow and distribution (microspheres), (2) metabolism (oxygen and lactate), (3) water content (wet to dry weights), (4) compliance (intraventricular balloon), and (5) performance (isovolumetric function curves) with 180 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass with the heart in the beating empty state (seven dogs).(6) The complex problems have been successfully managed with novel guiding catheter shapes and ultralow profile balloons.(5) Combined SEM and TEM examination of the endothelium of compressed segments revealed 'craters' and 'balloons', blebs and vacuoles, swollen mitochondria, dilated granular endoplasmic reticulum, and subendothelial edema.(4) In the case presented, overdistension of a jejunostomy catheter balloon led to intestinal obstruction and pressure necrosis (of the small bowel), with subsequent abscess formation leading to death from septicemia.(3) Completeness of isolation of the coronary and systemic circulations was shown by the marked difference in appearance times between the reflex hypotensive responses from catecholamine injections into the isolated coronary circulation and the direct hypertensive response from a similar injection when the circulations were connected as well as by the marked difference between the pressure pulses recorded simultaneously on both sides of the aortic balloon separating the two circulations.4.(2) A new balloon catheter has been developed for angioplasty.(1) Technical factors that account for increased difficulty in these patients include: problems with guide catheter impaction and ostial trauma inability to inflate the balloon with adequate guide catheter support and need for increased intracoronary manipulation.i.) To expand, or puff out, like a balloon. t.) To take up in, or as if in, a balloon. (n.) The outline inclosing words represented as coming from the mouth of a pictured figure.(n.) A game played with a large inflated ball.(n.) A round vessel, usually with a short neck, to hold or receive whatever is distilled a glass vessel of a spherical form.(n.) A ball or globe on the top of a pillar, church, etc., as at St.(n.) A bag made of silk or other light material, and filled with hydrogen gas or heated air, so as to rise and float in the atmosphere especially, one with a car attached for aerial navigation.
