Three clinical methods of circulatory assistance are described: intraaortic balloon counterpulsation, left ventricular bypass using a roller pump, and the artificial ventricle. All three methods have hemodynamic effectiveness. The first method is indicated in cases of widespread cardiosclerosis and pronounced coronary insufficiency and may be contraindicated in pathology of the valvular apparatus. The second method demonstrated a temporary positive effect in patients in whom it was not possible to discontinue artificial circulation. The artificial ventricle is useful in treating patients with cardiogenic shock following cardiac surgery.
