Description
Summary:Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is one of the most commonly used mechanical circulatory assist devices for high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In an effort to validate previously reported clinical outcomes, we describe the preoperative characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent prophylactic IABP in high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A prospective observational study. From 2005 to 2017, 471 patients underwent either isolated or combined CABG at our institution. Of those, 393 patients underwent isolated CABG and were included for the analysis. Eighty-five patients (22%) were considered high-risk and underwent prophylactic IABP, with subsequent review of surgical morbidity and mortality rates. The 30-day postoperative mortality (prophylactic IABP group vs non prophylactic IABP group: 0% vs 1.6%, p = 0.589) and major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (5.9% vs 3.3%, p = 0.333) were not significantly different between the two groups. Prolonged mechanical ventilation (>72 hours) (12.5% vs 4.2%, p = 0.014) occurred more frequently in the prophylactic IABP group. No IABP-related complications were noted, emphasizing that the use of prophylactic IABP in high-risk patients undergoing CABG is an acceptable option.
