Clinical Outcomes and Cost Associated With an Intravascular Microaxial Left Ventricular Assist Device vs Intra-aortic Balloon Pump in Patients Presenting With Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Intravascular microaxial left ventricular assist device (LVAD) compared with intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been associated with increased risk of mortality and bleeding among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiogenic shock (CS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, evidence on the association of device therapy with a broader array of clinical outcomes, including data on long-term outcomes and cost, is limited.

Objective

To examine the association between intravascular LVAD or IABP use and clinical outcomes and cost in patients with AMI complicated by CS.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective propensity-matched cohort study used administrative claims data for commercially insured patients fr
