Why the study?

Population

2 patients with cardiogenic shock associated with calcific aortic stenosis

Design

Follow-up

10 days to discharge

Implication

May stabilize cardiogenic shock in aortic stenosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Does emergency aortic balloon valvuloplasty reverse cardiogenic shock in patients with calcific aortic stenosis?

Population

2 patients with cardiogenic shock associated with calcific aortic stenosis

Intervention

Emergency aortic balloon valvuloplasty

Outcome

Reversal of cardiogenic shock (reduction in mean aortic valve gradient, increase in calculated aortic valve area, discontinuation of pressors, return to near normal renal function)

Emergency aortic balloon valvuloplasty can serve as an effective intervention to reverse cardiogenic shock in patients with calcific aortic stenosis.
