pubmed:abstractText
The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used temporary cardiac assist device. The precise role and the mechanism of any benefit in high-risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have not been fully determined. We hypothesized that the use of an IABP following PCI in high-risk non-shocked patients would immediately increase coronary blood flow, tissue perfusion and hence preserve left ventricular function.
