High-risk cardiac patients, especially those with severe coronary artery disease, are prone to ischemic, arrhythmic and heart failure complications during urgent or emergent noncardiac surgery. The American and European guidelines endorse selective revascularization by either coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention in symptomatic ischemic patients prior to major elective surgery. However, conventional revascularization may not be suitable for certain patients requiring emergent or urgent surgery. Reported are two representative cases in which severely ischemic patients were bridged uneventfully through moderate-risk surgery by using prophylactic intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Prophylactic IABP should be considered for the support of ischemic patients who are severely symptomatic or hemodynamically unstable undergoing moderate-high risk surgery, who are not suitable for preoperative revascularization. This therapeutic option should be acknowledged in the relevant guidelines.
