Objective To compare the assisting function between a new paraaortic counterpulsation device (PACD) and the intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) in acute severe heart failure in sheep. Methods Eight healthy adult small fattailed sheep were chosen in our study. The selfmade PACD (with a stroke volume of 55 ml) was anastomosed to the descending aorta through a valveless graft, and an intraaortic balloon (with a stroke volume of 40 ml) was placed in the descending aorta for the purpose of counterpulsation assisting. Acute severe heart failure model was established by snaring coronary artery branches. The hemodynamic changes of both devices were recorded during, before and after the counterpulsation assisting. Results Eight heart failure sheep models were successfully set up. Cardiac output (CO), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and left ventricular end diastolic presssure (LVEDP) after the heart failure were significantly different compared with basic value (t=-8.466, 34.083, 25.767, -5.219, P=0.000). After IABP and PACD assisting, the mean aortic diastolic pressure (MADP) didn’t significantly or did increase (38.34±7.13 mm Hg vs. 38.42±6.81 mm Hg, P=0.418; 38.34±7.13 mm Hg vs.54.14±10.13 mm Hg, P=0.001), and the degree of increasing between the two methods showed a significant difference (P=0.010); LVEDP didn’t significantly decrease (7.43±2.54 mmHg vs. 7.32±2.14 mm Hg, P=0.498; 7.43±2.54 mm Hg vs. 6.53±1.91 mm Hg, P=0.821), and there was no significant difference between the two methods in the change (P=0.651); the coronary sinus flow (CSF) didn’t significantly or did increase (86.63±7.71 ml/min vs. 87.04±6.53 ml/min, P=0.981; 86.63±7.71 ml/min vs. 110.52±11.03 ml/min, P=0.000), and there was a significant difference in the change of CSF between the two methods (P=0.000). IABP didn’t significantly decrease the left carotid artery flow (LCAF) (131.07±21.26 ml/min vs. 128.36±20.38 ml/min, P=0.689), while PACD increased it (131.07±21.26 ml/min vs. 151.29±18.37 ml/min, P=0.008), and there was a significant difference in the change of pressure waveform between the two methods (P=0.002). The thrombus, thrombosis and ischemic necrosis were not found in the hematosac of PACD, artificial blood vessels, heart, lung, liver or kidney of the animal. No apparent abnormalities of the pathohistological sections were detected under optical microscope. Conclusion IABP has no assisting function for the heart of animal with severe heart failure. However, PACD can improve hemodynamic parameters like MADP, returned blood volume in the coronary artery and perfusion volume into the brain, which may become a promising implantable device for severe heart failure.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of irbesartan combined with metoprolol plus conventional treatment compared with single drug (irbesartan, metoprolol) plus conventional treatment or conventional treatment for elderly patients with severe heart failure.MethodsPubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on irbesartan combined with metoprolol in the treatment of elderly patients with severe heart failure from January 2009 to September 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Network meta-analysis was then performed using gemtc package of R software.ResultsA total of 58 RCTs involving 5 064 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the efficiency, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) of combination group were significantly superior to single drug group.ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that under the premise of conventional treatment, the combination of irbesartan and metoprolol is more effective than irbesartan or metoprolol alone in the treatment of elderly patients with severe heart failure. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
