Use of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Abstract

In this large national registry, the use of IABP in the setting of PCI for cardiogenic shock decreased over time without a concurrent increase in O-MCS use. The probability of IABP and O-MCS use varied across hospitals, and the use of O-MCS was clustered at a small number of hospitals.
