Anatomic Suitability for Axillary Intra‐Aortic Balloon Pump Circulatory Support
Of the 10 vascular anatomic features measured, there was no association between any single measurement and axIABP complications. However, there may be other structural features not measured by routine CT, technical issues with insertion, and device factors not accounted for in this study that drive axIABP complications. Nonetheless, our findings suggest that normal variations in the measured vascular anatomy should not preclude axIABP use.
