Patients With History of Ischemic Heart Disease With LV Dysfunction Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery Clinical Trial

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Pilot Study of Intra-Aortic Balloon Counterpulsation to Prevent Perioperative Cardiac Events in High-Risk Cardiac Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The use of the IABP, in addition to standard care, in high-risk cardiac patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery is feasible and may result in improved perioperative outcomes at 30 days compared with standard care alone, while maintaining acceptable safety with respect to vascular accesss-related complications.
