Abstract
This article presents two clinical cases of patients with myocardial infarction and stage A (at risk) and B (beginning) cardiogenic shock who underwent intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP). In patients with a high risk of classic cardiogenic shock and/or the no-reflow phenomenon, stenting of the infarct-related coronary artery during this type of mechanical circulatory support was performed without complications. Theoretical and practical aspects of using IABP at different stages of cardiogenic shock are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) usage in patients with acute myocardial infarction remain controversial. This study sought to evaluate the outcomes of IABP usage in these patients. METHODS Medline, EMBASE, and other internet sources were searched for relevant clinical trials. The primary efficacy endpoints (in-hospital, midterm, and long-term mortality) and secondary endpoints (reinfarction, recurrent ischemia, and new heart failure in the hospital) as well as safety endpoints (severe bleeding requiring blood transfusion and stroke in-hospital) were subsequently analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-three clinical trials involving 18,889 patients were identified. The risk of long-term mortality in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction was significantly decreased following IABP use (odds ratio [OR] 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.48-0.91, P=0.010). Both in-hospital and midterm mortality did not differ significantly between the IABP use group and no IABP use group (in-hospital: OR 0.87, 95% CI: 0.59-1.28, P=0.479; midterm: OR 1.12, 95% CI: 0.53-2.38, P=0.768). IABP insertion was not associated with the risk reduction of reinfarction, recurrent ischemia, or new heart failure. However, IABP use increased the risk of severe bleeding requiring blood transfusion (OR 2.05, 95% CI: 1.29-3.25, P=0.002) and stroke (OR 1.71, 95% CI: 1.04-2.82, P=0.035). In the thrombolytic therapy and cardiogenic shock subgroups, reduced mortality rates following IABP use were observed. CONCLUSION IABP insertion is associated with feasible benefits with respect to long-term survival rates in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction, particularly those suffering from cardiogenic shock and receiving thrombolytic therapy, but at the cost of higher incidence of severe bleeding and stroke.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy is a widely used intervention for acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. Guidelines, which previously strongly recommended it, have recently undergone substantial change. OBJECTIVE To assess IABP efficacy in acute myocardial infarction. DATA SOURCES Human studies found in Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane libraries through December 2014 and in reference lists of selected articles. Search strings were "myocardial infarction" or "acute coronary syndrome" and "intra-aortic balloon pump" or "counterpulsation." STUDY SELECTION Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing use of IABP with no IABP in patients with acute myocardial infarction. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two reviewers independently extracted the data, and risk of bias in RCTs was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. We conducted separate meta-analyses of the RCTs and observational studies. Data were quantitatively synthesized using random-effects meta-analysis. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Thirty-day mortality. RESULTS There were 12 eligible RCTs randomizing 2123 patients. In the RCTs, IABP use had no statistically significant effect on mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.96 [95% CI, 0.74-1.24]), with no significant heterogeneity among trials (I2 = 0%; P = .52). This result was consistent when studies were stratified by the presence (OR, 0.94 [95% CI, 0.69-1.28]; P = .69, I2 = 0%) or absence (OR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.57-1.69]; P = .95, I2 = 17%) of cardiogenic shock. There were 15 eligible observational studies totaling 15 530 patients. Their results were mutually conflicting (heterogeneity I2 = 97%; P < .001), causing wide uncertainty in the summary estimate for the association with mortality (OR, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.54-1.70]). A simple index of baseline risk marker imbalance in the observational studies appeared to explain much of the heterogeneity in the observational data (R2meta = 46.2%; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Use of IABP was not found to improve mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction in the RCTs, regardless of whether patients had cardiogenic shock. The observational studies showed a variety of mutually contradictory associations between IABP therapy and mortality, much of which was explained by the differences between studies in the balance of risk factors between IABP and non-IABP groups.

Abstract
Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been extensively used in clinical practice as a circulatory-assist device. However, current literature demonstrated significantly varied indications for IABP application and prognosis.The objective of the study was to assess the potential benefits or risks of IABP treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with or without cardiogenic shock.MEDLINE and EMBASE database were systematically searched until November 2014, using the terms as follows: IABP, IABC (intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation), AMI, heart infarction, coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease, and acute coronary syndrome. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the use of IABP or non-IABP support in AMI with or without cardiogenic shock were included. Two researchers performed data extraction independently, and at the mean time, the risk of bias among those RCTs was also assessed.Of 3026 citations, 17 studies (n = 3226) met the inclusion criteria. There is no significant difference between IABP group and control group on the short-term mortality (relative risk [RR], 0.90; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77-1.06; P = 0.214) and long-term mortality (RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.79-1.04; P = 0.155) in AMI patients with or without cardiogenic shock. These results were consistent when the analysis was performed on studies that only included patients with cardiogenic shock, both on short-term mortality (RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.77-1.08; P = 0.293) and long-term mortality (RR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.83-1.10; P = 0.492). Similar result was also observed in AMI patients without cardiogenic shock. Furthermore, the risks of hemorrhage (RR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.09-2.04; P = 0.013) and recurrent ischemia (RR 0.54, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.79; P = 0.002) were significantly higher in IABP group compared with control group.We did not observe substantial benefit from IABP application in reducing the short- and long-term mortality, while it might promote the risks of hemorrhage and recurrent ischemia. Therefore, IABP may be not an optimal therapy in AMI with or without cardiogenic shock until more elaborate classification is used for selecting appropriate patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) is currently the most commonly used mechanical assist device for patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction. Although there has been only limited evidence from randomised controlled trials, the previous guidelines of the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) strongly recommended the use of the IABP in patients with infarction-related cardiogenic shock on the basis of pathophysiological considerations, non-randomised trials and registry data. The recent guidelines downgraded the recommendation based on a meta-analysis which could only include non-randomised trials showing conflicting results. Up to now, there have been no guideline recommendations and no actual meta-analysis including the results of the large randomised multicentre IABP-SHOCK II Trial which showed no survival benefit with IABP support. This systematic review is an update of the review published in 2011. OBJECTIVES To evaluate, in terms of efficacy and safety, the effect of IABP versus non-IABP or other assist devices guideline compliant standard therapy on mortality and morbidity in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. SEARCH METHODS Searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE (Ovid) and EMBASE (Ovid), LILACS, IndMed and KoreaMed, registers of ongoing trials and proceedings of conferences were updated in October 2013. Reference lists were scanned and experts in the field contacted to obtain further information. No language restrictions were applied. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials on patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data collection and analysis were performed according to the published protocol. Individual patient data were provided for six trials and merged with aggregate data. Summary statistics for the primary endpoints were hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). MAIN RESULTS Seven eligible studies were identified from a total of 2314 references. One new study with 600 patients was added to the original review. Four trials compared IABP to standard treatment and three to other percutaneous left assist devices (LVAD). Data from a total of 790 patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock were included in the updated meta-analysis: 406 patients were treated with IABP and 384 patients served as controls; 339 patients were treated without assisting devices and 45 patients with other LVAD. The HR for all-cause 30-day mortality of 0.95 (95% CI 0.76 to 1.19) provided no evidence for a survival benefit. Different non-fatal cardiovascular events were reported in five trials. During hospitalisation, 11 and 4 out of 364 patients from the intervention groups suffered from reinfarction or stroke, respectively. Altogether 5 out of 363 patients from the control group suffered from reinfarction or stroke. Reocclusion was treated with subsequent re-revascularization in 6 out of 352 patients from the intervention group and 13 out of 353 patients of the control group. The high incidence of complications such as moderate and severe bleeding or infection in the control groups has to be attributed to interventions with other LVAD. Possible reasons for bias were more frequent in small studies with high cross-over rates, early stopping and the inclusion of patients with IABP at randomisation. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Available evidence suggests that IABP may have a beneficial effect on some haemodynamic parameters. However, this did not result in survival benefits so there is no convincing randomised data to support the use of IABP in infarct-related cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as a coronary artery dilatation with a diameter ≥1.5 times greater than that of a normal adjacent artery. All 3 coronary vessels can be affected by CAE, but the incidence of multivessel CAE among patients undergoing coronary angiography is quite low. We herein report an extremely rare case of acute myocardial infarction due to massive thrombi in the giant right coronary artery with multivessel CAE. Thrombus aspiration during percutaneous coronary intervention may be limited in giant coronary artery cases, and systemic thrombolysis may be effective in patients with massive thrombi in the giant coronary artery.

Abstract
The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) remains the most widely used form of mechanical circulatory support in current clinical practice. This article will review the current evidence to guide IABP use, focussing on large registry and prospective, randomised data, and seek to establish appropriate roles for the IABP in contemporary practice. Despite a paucity of clinical evidence, the IABP remains a useful clinical tool in selected settings, although its routine, up-front use in relatively unselected MI populations is not supported by data. Although current evidence no longer supports routine use in certain high-risk groups, further studies of appropriately selected high-risk patients may yet demonstrate benefit in patients with moderate-severe degrees of shock.

Abstract
Background Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated the effect of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation pump(IABP) on the mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Objectives To analyze the relevant RCT data on the effect of IABP on mortality and the occurrence of bleeding in AMI. Data Sources Published RCTs on the treatment of AMI by IABP were retrieved in searches of Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane and other related databases. The last search was conducted on July 20, 2014. Study Eligibility Criteria Randomized clinical trials comparing IABP to controls as treatment for AMI. Participants Patients with AMI. Synthesis Methods The primary endpoint was mortality, and the secondary endpoint was bleeding events. To account for to heterogeneity, a random-effects model was used to analyze the study data. Results Ten trials with a total population of 973 patients that were included in the analysis showed no significant difference in 2-month mortality between the IABP and the control groups. The 6-month mortality in the IABP group was not significantly lower than in the control group in the four RCTs that enrolled 59 AMI patients with CS. But in the four that enrolled AMI 66 patients without CS, the data showed opposite conclusion. Conclusions IABP cannot reduce within 2 months and 6–12 months mortality of AMI patients with CS as well as within 2 months mortality of AMI patients without CS, but can reduce 6–12 months mortality of AMI patients without CS. In addition, IABP can increase the risk of bleeding.

Abstract
Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) counterpulsation has been the most widely used left ventricular assist device for nearly five decades. Due to diastolic inflation and systolic deflation, coronary blood flow is increased and afterload decreased translating into augmentation of oxygen supply and lowering of oxygen demand. However, IABP may be associated with serious complications, including major bleeding, stroke, local and systemic infections and vascular complications. These might counterbalance the potential beneficial hemodynamic effects. In clinical routine, IABP is mainly used in high-risk patients with acute myocardial infarction, especially when complicated by cardiogenic shock. Further, prophylactic IABP use is frequently performed in patients at high risk for hemodynamic instability undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Current evidence, however, does not fully support routine use of IABP in these settings. This review focuses on the basic principles of IABP and discusses current evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conflicting data on intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) as adjunctive therapy in high-risk acute myocardial infarction (AMI) without cardiogenic shock (CS) have been published. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized trials evaluating the benefits of IABC in patients with AMI without CS. METHODS We searched Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and relevant Web sites for randomized trials comparing IABC versus no IABC in patients with AMI without CS. No language, publication date, or publication status restrictions were applied. Primary end point was all-cause death. Secondary end points were congestive heart failure (CHF), reinfarction, recurrent myocardial ischemia, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), and bleeding (moderate to severe) according to per protocol definitions. RESULTS Six trials were included (1,054 patients, 49.1% IABC vs 50.9% no IABC). At follow-up, counterpulsation does not reduce all-cause death (4.4% vs 4.1%, odds ratio [OR] [95% CI] 1.11 [0.49-2.54], P = .80), CHF (17.1% vs 18%, OR 0.92 [0.43-1.96], P = .83), or reinfarction (5.3% vs 7.7%, OR 0.68 [0.23-1.76], P = .42). Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation versus no IABC significantly reduces recurrent myocardial ischemia (3.6% vs 20.3%, OR 0.15 [0.08-0.28], P < .00001), but it increases the risk of CVA (2% vs 0.3%, OR 4.39 [1.11-17.36], P = .03) and bleeding (21.4% vs 16.1%, respectively, OR 1.46 [1.05-2.04], P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Counterpulsation does not reduce death, CHF, or reinfarction in patients with AMI without CS. The significant reduction of recurrent myocardial ischemia associated with IABC use is offset by a higher risk of CVAs and bleeding.

Abstract
Intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most widely used left ventricular support device in a variety of indications. This review focuses on the current literature and discusses the evidence of IABP in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with and without cardiogenic shock. In high-risk STEMI patients without cardiogenic shock several randomized clinical trials have been performed. The majority of the studies could not demonstrate an efficacy benefit for IABP as adjunctive therapy in comparison to standard treatment alone. Hence, recent meta-analyses could not reveal diverging mortality rates at a higher incidence of stroke and major bleedings with IABP use independent of the type of reperfusion therapy. IABP in STEMI patients with cardiogenic shock is recommended according to current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (AHA/ACC) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines. In recent meta-analyses, IABP in cardiogenic shock complicated by STEMI has been shown to be associated with decreased mortality. However, these beneficial effects are limited to patients treated with thrombolysis, whereas in patients undergoing mechanical revascularization IABP therapy is associated with an increase in mortality. Nevertheless, these data only arise from prospective and retrospective cohort studies, as up to date only one very small randomized clinical trial has been completed. In summary, in high-risk STEMI patients without cardiogenic shock, current data do not support the use of IABP and should only be considered as a standby and bailout strategy if patients develop haemodynamic instability. Current data on IABP in patients with cardiogenic shock complicated by STEMI are scarce and highly limited due to the nonrandomized design of previous trials. However, according to current AHA/ACC and ESC guidelines its use is recommended. Although recent meta-analyses challenge current AHA/ACC/ESC guidelines, adequately powered randomized studies are needed to elucidate the role of IABP in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) is currently the most commonly used mechanical assist device for patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction.Although there is only limited evidence by randomised controlled trials, the current guidelines of the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology and the European Society of Cardiology strongly recommend the use of the intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in patients with infarction-related cardiogenic shock on the basis of pathophysiological considerations as also non-randomised trials and registry data. OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of IABP versus non-IABP or other assist devices guideline compliant standard therapy, in terms of efficacy and safety, on mortality and morbidity in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. SEARCH STRATEGY Searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE and EMBASE, LILACS, IndMed and KoreaMed, registers of ongoing trials and proceedings of conferences were conducted in January 2010, unrestricted by date. Reference lists were scanned and experts in the field contacted to obtain further information. No language restrictions were applied. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials on patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data collection and analysis were performed according to a published protocol. Individual patient data were provided for five trials and merged with aggregate data. Summary statistics for the primary endpoints were hazard ratios (HR's) and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI). MAIN RESULTS Six eligible and two ongoing studies were identified from a total of 1410 references. Three compared IABP to standard treatment and three to percutaneous left assist devices (LVAD). Data from a total of 190 patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock were included in the meta-analysis: 105 patients were treated with IABP and 85 patients served as controls. 40 patients were treated without assisting devices and 45 patients with LVAD. HR's for all-cause 30-day mortality of 1.04 (95% CI 0.62 to 1.73) provides no evidence for a survival benefit. While differences in survival were comparable in patients treated with IABP, with and without LVAD, haemodynamics and incidences of device related complications show heterogeneous results. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Available evidence suggests that IABP may have a beneficial effect on the haemodynamics, however there is no convincing randomised data to support the use of IABP in infarct related cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Thrombolytic therapy remains the most commonly administered revascularization strategy for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI). However, many patients fail to have patent arteries or ST-segment resolution after these therapies. Multiple strategies have been examined to treat these patients with "failed thrombolysis." We examined the existing medical literature regarding treatment of failed thrombolysis including strategies testing repeat thrombolytic therapy and rescue percutaneous coronary intervention. Additional, we reviewed the literature regarding the efficacy of transferring patient for rescue percutaneous intervention and coronary stenting. The impact of contemporary antiplatelet strategies, cardiogenic shock, and coronary bypass surgery was examined. Overall, the management of patients with acute STEMI in whom thrombolytic therapy failed remains a challenging problem. As a result, many different strategies are currently in use. Among these therapeutic interventions, rescue PCI with coronary stenting appears to be superior when it is done in a timely manner by an experienced center.

Abstract
Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. The incidence of PMI varies depending on the method used for diagnosis and is likely to increase as the population ages. Studies have examined different methods for prevention of myocardial infarction (MI), including the use of perioperative beta-blockers, alpha(2)-agonists, and statin therapy. However, few studies have focused on the treatment of PMI. Current therapy for acute MI generally involves anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy, raising the potential for surgical site hemorrhage in this population. This article reviews the possible mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment options for MI in the surgical setting. We also suggest algorithms for treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) can improve post-myocardial infarction (MI) outcomes, but the mechanisms of such effect remain unclear. We hypothesized that IABC augmentation reduces the extent of microvascular obstruction after acute infarction. BACKGROUND Microvascular obstruction or "no-reflow" (MO) has been shown to negatively influence left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS Seventeen dogs underwent 90 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by reperfusion. Animals were then randomized to either IABC (n = 9) or control (n = 8); IABC augmentation was performed for 24 h after MI. Microvascular obstruction and infarct size by first-pass and delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were measured at 1 and 24 h after reperfusion and compared with postmortem infarct size and MO by microspheres. RESULTS Microvascular obstruction by MRI, expressed as percent LV mass, decreased significantly in IABC (4.9 +/- 2.2% to 3.6 +/- 1.5%) and increased in controls (3.4 +/- 0.5% to 4.9 +/- 1.1% from 1 to 24 h, respectively; p < 0.001). Similar results were found for MO defined by microspheres. In the control group, MO increased significantly, during 24 h of study (from 8.8 +/- 1.7% to 43.2 +/- 11.1% of infarcted myocardium; p < 0.05), whereas not important change was observed in the IABC group (from 21.3 +/- 7.1% to 25.8 +/- 14.7%; p < 0.05 vs. control at 24 h). Infarct size, measured by MRI, increased in both groups (13.2 +/- 1.8 to 15.5 +/- 2.1 from 1 to 24 h, respectively; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation augmentation performed after reperfusion improves myocardial perfusion at the tissue level, and reduces the extent of no-reflow caused by microvascular obstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains the leading cause of death in patients hospitalized with AMI. Although several studies have demonstrated the importance of establishing and maintaining a patent infarct-related artery, it remains unclear as to whether intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) provides incremental benefit to reperfusion therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine whether IABP use is associated with lower in-hospital mortality rates in patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock in a large AMI registry. METHODS We evaluated patients participating in the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction 2 who had cardiogenic shock at initial examination or in whom cardiogenic shock developed during hospitalization (n = 23,180). RESULTS The mean age of patients in the study was 72 years, 54% were men, and the majority were white. The overall mortality rate in all patients who had cardiogenic shock or in whom cardiogenic shock developed was 70%. IABP was used in 7268 (31%) patients. IABP use was associated with a significant reduction in mortality rates in patients who received thrombolytic therapy (67% vs 49%) but was not associated with any benefit in patients treated with primary angioplasty (45% vs 47%). In a multivariate model, the use of IABP in conjunction with thrombolytic therapy decreased the odds of death by 18% (odds ratio, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.72 to 0.93). CONCLUSIONS Patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock may have substantial benefit from IABP when used in combination with thrombolytic therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the outcome of a policy of emergency coronary angiography with or without rescue angioplasty in patients with acute myocardial infarction and ECG evidence of failed reperfusion after thrombolysis. DESIGN A cohort study. SETTING Regional cardiothoracic unit. PATIENTS 197 patients with acute myocardial infarction fulfilling a simple ECG criterion of failed reperfusion. INTERVENTIONS Emergency coronary angiography proceeding to rescue angioplasty for inadequate antegrade flow. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Hospital mortality for all 197 patients; incidence of successful and failed rescue angioplasty; need for additional revascularisation in those receiving rescue angioplasty compared with those not treated in this way. RESULTS 197 patients had emergency angiography for ECG evidence of failed reperfusion; 156 patients received immediate rescue angioplasty. Overall hospital mortality for those undergoing rescue angioplasty was 11.5%. Rescue angioplasty achieved TIMI 2 (11) or TIMI 3 (124) in 135 patients, who had a hospital mortality of 5.9%. Failure to achieve at least TIMI 2 flow following rescue angioplasty occurred in 21 patients, with a hospital mortality of 48%. In the 41 patients in whom immediate rescue angioplasty was not performed, reinfarction or requirement for revascularisation occurred in 37%. Reinfarction occurred in three patients (1.9%) who had immediate rescue angioplasty. Hospital mortality for the whole cohort was 10.7%. CONCLUSIONS A policy of emergency coronary angiography proceeding to rescue angioplasty where appropriate reduces mortality in a high risk group to a level less than expected for patients with acute myocardial infarction and ECG evidence of failed reperfusion. Unsuccessful rescue angioplasty is associated with a high mortality.

Abstract
Prompt treatment with thrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction has been proven to reduce infarct size and mortality. However, reperfusion fails to occur in 30-50% of patients, either due to impaired epicardial artery flow or microvascular occlusion, with these patients experiencing a higher morbidity and mortality. We review the diagnosis and management of failed thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Using a prospective, nonrandomized design, the authors sought to determine whether concomitant use of intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) and streptokinase in acute anterior myocardial infarction (MI) would improve the in-hospital mortality rate and angiographic findings. The study included 45 patients with an acute anterior MI. All patients received intravenous streptokinase. Among these, 25 patients had concomitant IABP while the remaining 20 patients had streptokinase alone. All patients underwent cardiac catheterization. Patients treated with concomitant IABP had a significantly higher frequency of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade 3 flow (n: 11; 44% vs n: 1; 5%, p<0.05), and there was a trend toward a lower in-hospital mortality rate in the IABP group (n: 0; 0% vs n: 3; 15%, p=0.08). The angiographic presence of thrombus image and grade > or =2 coronary collateral circulation to the infarct-related coronary artery for the IABP and non-IABP groups did not differ significantly. The preliminary results of this study suggest that concomitant use of IABP and streptokinase in acute anterior MI increases the incidence of TIMI grade 3 flow and may have decreased the in-hospital mortality rate without unacceptable rates of vascular or hemorrhagic complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical circulatory assistance is frequently needed in postcardiotomy patients to support the failing heart. A balloon catheter called SupraCor (ABIOMED Cardiovascular, Inc, Danvers, MA) has been developed and is similar to the existing intraaortic balloon pump with the exception of placement in the ascending versus the descending thoracic aorta. This investigation compared the effects of SupraCor versus standard intraaortic balloon pump on internal mammary artery and venous conduit bypass graft blood flow. METHODS Porcine total heart bypass was used to anastomose a jugular vein from the ascending aorta to a subsequently ligated left anterior descending coronary artery. The left internal mammary artery was then anastomosed to the jugular vein so each conduit perfused the same coronary vascular bed. An additional right heart bypass preparation allowed precise control of cardiac output and blood pressure, which were maintained constant throughout mechanical circulatory assistance. Electromagnetic flow probes measured flow through each bypass graft and the other conduit was atraumatically occluded. RESULTS The SupraCor caused a significant increase in both internal mammary artery (+70% from 35 +/- mL/min to 56 +/- 9 mL/min; p = 0.04) and venous bypass graft blood flow (+49% from 66 +/- 12 mL/min to 95 +/- 15 mL/min; p = 0.02) when compared with controls. The intraaortic balloon pump failed to alter internal mammary artery or venous bypass graft flow. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that counterpulsation with an ascending aortic balloon significantly increases coronary bypass graft flow in both internal mammary artery and venous conduits. In contrast, counterpulsation with a descending aortic balloon did not alter coronary bypass graft flow.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest prophylactic intraaortic balloon-pulsation (IABP) in patients undergoing coronary reperfusion therapy. However, variable effects of IABP on coronary blood flow are reported. It is suggested that augmentation of coronary flow is more effective in patients with a compromised hemodynamic status, which might have potential relevance in selecting IABP treatment in patients undergoing reperfusion therapy.
