Abstract
- Acute cholecystitis after cardiac surgery is rare but carries a high mortality. Intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) is effective and useful device for mechanical assistance for heart. We reported a case of 34-year-old patient who had experienced pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure during cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis after cardiac surgery. Thus, the patient was mechanically supported with IABP and hemodynamics and cardiac function were improved.
