Key result
Percutaneous coronary intervention with an intra-aortic balloon pump in patients with acute coronary syndrome and cardiogenic shock was associated with a 34.3% in-hospital mortality rate, with aging, CPR, and mechanical ventilation identified as independent predictors of death.
Cohort (n=134)
No
High mortality persists in ACS shock despite PCI+IABP; leaves open optimal support selection and risk stratification by age, CPR, and ventilation.
Background/Aims: The mortality of hospitalized patients undergoing treatment with an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) due to cardiogenic shock is well known as quite high. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with an IABP in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cardiogenic shock and identify the predictors of in-hospital mortality. Methods: 134 patients who underwent PCI with IABP due to ACS complicated by cardiogenic shock were consecutively enrolled. Outcomes were obtained and analyzed during hospitalization and after 1 year.

Lee et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock (n=134). Percutaneous coronary intervention with intra-aortic balloon pump was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Percutaneous coronary intervention with an intra-aortic balloon pump in patients with acute coronary syndrome and cardiogenic shock was associated with a 34.3% in-hospital mortality rate, with aging, CPR, and mechanical ventilation identified as independent predictors of death.
