Key result
Intra-aortic balloon pumping allowed 37.5% (6 of 16) of patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction to be successfully weaned from the device.

Does intra-aortic balloon pumping improve hemodynamics and clinical outcomes in cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction?
IABP provides hemodynamic and electrocardiographic improvement in cardiogenic shock post-MI, though efficacy is limited in cases of massive infarction or severe mechanical complications.
Okada et al. (1979) conducted an observational in Cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction (n=16). Intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) was evaluated on Weaned from IABP. Intra-aortic balloon pumping allowed 37.5% (6 of 16) of patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction to be successfully weaned from the device.
