Why the study?
Does preoperative and preventative IABP insertion reduce major adverse cardiac events during surgery in high-risk patients undergoing first-time CABG compared to intraoperative or postoperative obligatory IABP insertion?
Does preoperative and preventative IABP insertion reduce major adverse cardiac events during surgery in high-risk patients undergoing first-time CABG compared to intraoperative or postoperative obligatory IABP insertion?
Preoperative and preventative insertion of IABP in high-risk patients undergoing first-time CABG significantly reduces intraoperative major adverse cardiac events and shortens ICU stay compared to obligatory intraoperative or postoperative insertion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Preoperative IABP may associate with fewer MACE in high-risk CABG; leaves open confirmation by RCTs.
Qingcheng et al. (2009) studied this question.
