Is preoperative IABP insertion significantly reducing postoperative complication in augmented high-risk coronary artery bypass grafting patients?

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to determine whether pre-operative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion improves surgical outcomes in high-risk coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients.

Methods

Patients with a EuroSCORE II greater than 1.2% who underwent CABG from 2009 to 2016 were included in the study, while those who utilized intra-operative or post-operative IABP were excluded. The analysis included a total of 2907 patients, with 377 patients undergoing preoperative IABP insertion (EuroSCORE II > 5.018%) and 1198 patients in the non-IABP group before matching; after propensity score matching (PSM), both groups consisted of a matched cohort of 250 patients.

Results

30-day mortality events occurred in 9 (3.6%) non-IABP group and in 12 (4.8%) IABP p
