Effects of mechanical circulatory support devices in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing stent implantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The survival benefit of using mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still controversial. It is necessary to explore the impact on clinical outcomes of MCS in patients with AMI undergoing stenting.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data sources

Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov and Clinicaltrialsregister.eu databases were searched from database inception to February 2021.

Eligibility criteria

Randomised clinical trials (RCTs) on MCS use in patients with AMI undergoing stent implantation were included.

Data extraction and synthesis

Data were extracted and summarised independently by two reviewers. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% CIs were calculate
