What is the role of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in acute myocardial infarction presenting without shock?

What is the role of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in acute myocardial infarction presenting without shock?

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the presence of impaired left ventricular function is associated with significant mortality and morbidity, principally the underlying coronary artery disease (CAD) subtends a large proportion of viable myocardium. The consequences of the ischaemic cascade...
