Despite a lack of evidence, circulatory support with intraaortic balloon counterpulation (IABP) has a class 1 recommendation in the guidelines and is often used in patients in cardiogenic shock ...

August 30, 2011 (Paris, France) — The routine use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support during PCI for acute, potentially large anterior MIs--as measured by electrocardiography--does little to ...

Aims There are few studies of the use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) treatment as a bridge to heart transplantation (HTx). This is the first study to compare long-term clinical and haemodynamic ...

PARIS -- Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) didn't significantly improve outcomes for patients with ischemia persisting well after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a large acute ST-segment ...

Infarct size as measured by MRI does not reduce when intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation is used before percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with STEMI, new study results indicated.

Contrary to lackluster short-term results, elective intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy in high-risk patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) substantially reduces all-cause ...

CHICAGO, IL—Contrary to shorter-term results, follow-up beyond 4 years shows that elective intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy in high-risk patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention ...
