Evidence of the Advantages of Preoperative Intra-aortic Balloon Pump in Surgical Revascularization of Acute Myocardial Infarction
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intra-aortic Balloon Pump for Acute Myocardial Infarction and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 156 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The optimal timing of surgery in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the utilization of preoperative intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) in these patients are subjects of ongoing discussion and disagreement. This study aimed to investigate the effects of preoperative IABP on troponin levels, surgical timing, and intraoperative and postoperative outcomes for patients with AMI who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
It will be applied to patients with acute myocardial infarction who have elevated troponin levels and recurrent or persistent chest pain at rest, hemodynamic instability, multivascular disease, left main coronary artery disease, and patients with narrow and/or tortuous coronary artery anatomy in whom PCI has failed or is not applicable.
