The randomized trial argues against counterpulsation support in patients with large anterior MIs unless they develop signs of hemodynamic instability or arrhythmias.

Eight years ago, CRISP-AMI dashed hopes for IABP therapy when it failed to show a reduction in infarct size or improvement in clinical outcomes when deployed prior to primary PCI in high-risk STEMI ...

"Use of IABP in patients presenting with persistent ischemia after primary PCI is a plausible concept," he maintained, adding that his pilot study of 100 patients is the first to show a trend ...

A balloon pump inserted in the aorta is currently the most widely used support device in the treatment of cardiogenic shock and, since its introduction in 1968, has been used in several million ...
