Implication

Postoperative IABP insertion was associated with higher mortality; leaves optimal timing open and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Population

136 adult cardiac surgical patients requiring intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) support, from a larger cohort of 2,697 patients.

Intervention

Intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) support

Outcome

Operative mortality and 5-year survivalhard clinical

In adult cardiac surgery patients requiring IABP support, postoperative insertion and specific patient factors (female gender, smoking, elevated creatinine, prolonged cross-clamp time) are associated with significantly higher operative mortality.
