Veno-arterial Support is used with patients whose hearts are not adequately supporting their circulation, or have stopped. It is vitally important to ensure cardiopulmonary support as early as possible to minimize organ damage. The
CARDIOHELP System may assist the patient by enabling quick examination in the cardiac catheter laboratory and revascularization by means of catheters or cardiac surgery. In the case of a veno-arterial Support, the blood is removed from the right atrium or a femoral vein and is returned to the aorta or a femoral artery after oxygenation. Therefore, some of the blood bypasses the heart in a parallel circulatory system, thus relieving stress on the heart muscle.
