Abstract

A possible new functional mechanism of atheromatous embolus is presented resulting from reversed aortic blood flow during diastolic augmentation by balloon counterpulsation. This mechanism is different from mechanical disruption during insertion. Despite this, intra-aortic balloon remains an important asset in the management of hemodynamically challenged patients.
