May support IABP in cardiogenic shock; leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does intraaortic balloon pumping improve short-term survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock, ventricular septal perforation, or mitral regurgitation?
IABP was associated with improved short-term survival and hemodynamics in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock compared to medical therapy alone.
Takano et al. (1984) studied this question.
