Why the study?
Advanced HF hospitalizations and severity are increasing, necessitating bridge or destination therapies such as circulatory support for refractory cases.
This paper discusses the current state of axillary artery intra-aortic balloon pump placement as a bridge or destination therapy for advanced heart failure.
Axillary IABP remains an option in advanced HF; review leaves open need for prospective outcome data.
