Despite widespread use, evidence to support preemptive IABP insertion for patients undergoing high-risk CABG surgery remains sparse, and in need of a well-defined clinical trial. To inform the design of a prospective trial, we sought to...

An investigation on whether the use of hemodynamic support during PCI can mitigate the adverse prognostic importance of surgical ineligibility.

In this commentary on Cheng et al, the absence of randomized controlled trials on mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices (which may never occur), physicians will likely continue to reach for MCS devices for their sickest patients. The...

IABP rupture is a rare complication, with overall reported incidence of 1%. The presented case demonstrates the presence of blood within the IABP driveline, which is a key indicator of rupture.

Intraaortic balloon pumps (IABPs) are frequently used as an adjunctive device to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and are routinely placed at the initiation of ECMO at many institutions. We provide a meta-analysis to demonstrate...
