Prevalence and clinical correlates of extended mechanical support in patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention in current clinical practice …
Background High-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (HR-PCI) are prone to
hemodynamic instability, resulting in poor outcomes. Acute mechanical circulatory support
(AMCS) devices are used during HR-PCI to improve outcomes. However, the clinical criteria
for extended AMCS have not been well characterized. The aim of this study was to describe
the prevalence and clinical correlates of extended AMCS in patients undergoing elective or
urgent HR-PCI. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 507 patients enrolled in the catheter …
