A Prospective, Randomized Evaluation of Prophylactic Intraaortic Balloon Counterpulsation in High Risk Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Angioplasty fn1fn1Funding for this study was provided in part by unrestricted grants from Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., Santa Clara, California; Mallinkrodt Medical, Inc., Saint Louis, Missouri; Datascope Corporation, Montvale, New Jersey; St. Jude Medical, Chelmsford, Massachusetts; and Siemens Corporation, Iselin, New Jersey.

Abstract: In contrast to previous studies, a prophylactic IABP strategy after primary PTCA in hemodynamically stable high risk patients with AMI does not decrease the rates of infarct-related artery reocclusion or reinfarction, promote myocardial recovery or improve overall clinical outcome.

“…Although these studies demonstrated feasibility and suggested efficacy of routine IABP use, their findings have not been supported by data from randomized trials. In randomized trials that enrolled patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI, routine IABP use was not associated with differences in procedural success or clinical outcomes 8, 9, 11, 12 . Collectively, these studies do not support the routine use of IABP for patients at high risk of adverse outcomes, but leaves open the question of how aggressive we should be in using this technology.…”

“…In 1997, the Second Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI-II) trial determined the role of prophylactic IABP therapy after primary angioplasty in AMI patients [12]. This trial enrolled 437 high-risk, but hemodynamically stable patients from 34 centers worldwide.…”

“…In the trial by Kono et al [11], patients were enrolled using a predetermined randomization list along with sealed envelopes. The PAMI-II trial [12] did not state their exact method of randomization. Although there is no direct evidence in either of these three trials of lack of concealment, a situation where a clinician may know in advance that a patient will be allocated to either the treatment or placebo group, this possibility cannot be excluded.…”

“…Stone et al observed a 2.4% stroke rate in patients with AMI randomized to IABP compared to the control group (27). A few other studies have also noted the use of IABP as a predictor for stroke complicating PCI (3,9).…”
