A statistical model that predicts the length from the left subclavian artery to the celiac axis; towards accurate intra aortic balloon sizing
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ideally the length of the Intraaortic balloon membrane (22-27.5 cm) should match to the distance from the left subclavian artery (LSA) to the celiac axis (CA), (LSA - CA). By being able to estimate this distance, better guidance rega...
