Summary: Intra‐aortic counterpulsation with a balloon pump (IABP) was used in 63 patients with cardiogenic shock, heart failure after surgery with artificial circulation, internal lacerations of the myocardium, or unstable angina. It was found that the IABP was most efficient in conditions related to myocardial ischemia. Use of arteriovenous perfusion (in 11 patients) or artificial ventricles is indicated in severe perturbations of the pumping function of the heart. As experience has shown, cardiologic and heart surgery patients usually have multiorgan insufficiency. For this reason, it is necessary to use other artificial organs in complex treatment: artificial lungs, kidneys, livers, etc.
