IABP addition does not improve multiorgan dysfunction in AMI cardiogenic shock; challenges routine use and reinforces PCI-centered care without counterpulsation.
Does the addition of intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation to PCI-centered therapy improve multiorgan dysfunction syndrome in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock?
The routine addition of IABP to PCI in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock does not significantly improve multiorgan dysfunction syndrome scores over 4 days.
