Abstract

CONTEXT: Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) is an adjunct to revascularization in patients with cardiogenic shock and reduces infarct size when placed prior to reperfusion in animal models. OBJECTIVE: To determine if routine IABC placement prior to reperfusion in patients with anterior ST-...
