Safety and Efficacy of Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Device vs Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump in Elective High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Procedures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study compares outcomes between percutaneous ventricular assist device (PVAD)-supported and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)-supported high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HRPCI) in a large-scale, contemporary hospital administrative dataset.

Methods

Patients undergoing HRPCI supported by PVAD or IABP between January 1, 2018, and April 30, 2024, were identified in the Premier Healthcare Database. Patients were excluded if they had cardiogenic shock and/or STEMI on admission, received mechanical circulatory support and PCI on different days, required emergent procedures, had multiple mechanical circulatory support devices used, or received coronary artery bypass grafting surgery within the same admission. Variable rate propensity score matching was co
