Background

The relative safety of percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pVAD) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains unknown.

Methods

Digital databases were searched to identify articles comparing pVAD and IABP. An unadjusted odds ratio was used to calculate hard clinical outcomes and mortality differences on a random effect model.

Results

Seven studies comprising 26,726 patients (1110 pVAD vs. 25,616 IABP) were included. The odds of all-cause mortality (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.47-0.68, p=<0.00001) (Figure 1), and need for revascularization (OR 0.16, 95% CI, 0.07-0.38, p=<0.0001) were significantly reduced in patients receiving pVAD compared to IABP. The odds of stroke (OR 1.12, 95% CI, 0.14-9.17, p= 0.91), acute limb ischemia (OR= 2.48, 95% CI, 0.39-15.66, p= 0.33) and major bleeding (OR 0.36, 95% CI, 0.01-25.39, p= 0.64) were not significantly different between the two groups. A sensitivity analysis based on exclusion of the study with the largest weight showed no difference in the mortality difference between the two mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices.

Conclusions

In patients with acute MI complicated by CS there, pVAD was associated with lower all-cause mortality and similar major bleeding, stroke and limb ischemia compared with IABP.
