Timing of initiation of intra-aortic balloon pump in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the optimal timing of the initiation of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy remains unclear. Therefore, we performed the first meta-analysis to compare the outcomes of IABP insertion before vs after primary PCI in this population.

Methods

Electronic databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched from inception to April 1, 2019, to identify the eligible studies. The main outcomes were short-term (in-hospital or 30 days) and long-term (≥ 6 months) mortality. In addition, pooled analysis of risk-adjusted data were also performed to control for confounding factors.
