Claim 6:
7. A method for providing resuscitation or suspended state in a human cardiac arrest patient, said method comprising subjecting the patient to heart massage (chest compression) while at the same time ensuring redistribution of the cardiac output to preferentially supply blood to the brain and the heart, wherein
said redistribution is accomplished by occlusion of the aorta caudal to the left subclavian artery;
said chest compression is manual or accomplished by the use of a mechanical chest compression device
wherein occlusion is accomplished by introducing a device according to claim 1 into the aorta, and subsequently decreasing or interrupting the blood flow distal to the redistribution component by expanding the redistribution component of said device
which acts during or as a bridge to one or more of angioplasty, including PCI and angiography; ventricular assist devices; heart transplantation, including artificial heart transplantation; CABG surgery and valve surgery; placement of external or internal pacemaker or ICD; ECMO; ECLS; and cardiopulmonary bypass.
