About this trial
The goal of this study aim to accurately size the IABP size for patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Are patients's height, jugular notch to transpyloric plane distance and distance from the carina to the upper part of the first lumbar vertebra (measured by chest X-ray) are a good surrogate for IABP sizing? * Is the distance obtained during a transfemoral artery catheterization a reliable way to size the IABP? Researchers will enroll patient who have had previous CT that include thoracic aorta to celiac trunk who will undergo transfemoral angiography. * All patients that researcher enrolled will undergo transfemoral angiography, during which the researchers will measure the vessel distance using a wire after the procedure end. * Researchers will measure the height weight, jugular notch to transpyloric plane distance, CXR distance from carina to upper border of L1 and the distance from aorta at subclavian level to celiac trunk from CT. * Researchers will find the correlation between of each measurement to the distance from aorta at subclavian level to celiac trunk from CT (considered the standard measure).
