Prophylactic IABP in High-risk Patients Undergoing CABG

November 12, 2021 updated by: Dr. Philippe Grieshaber, University of Giessen

Prophylactic Preoperative Inatraaortic Balloon Pump (IABP) in High-risk Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)

Due to advances and increased practice of interventional therapy for coronary artery disease, the rate of high-risk patients with severe coronary disease and reduced left ventricular function among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) is increasing. The perioperative mortality in these patients is ≥ 5%. The perioperative and operative management for these patients has to be optimized in order to reduce their perioperative morbidity and mortality. One of the central aspects is perioperative maintenance of hemodynamic stability. The use of prophylactic IABP is a partly established, but not sufficiently evidence-based measure to reduce ventricular afterload and improve coronary perfusion pre-, intra- and postoperatively. Yet, it is an invasive procedure with potential complications. The planned trial should give an explicit answer, whether preoperative prophylactic IABP decreases 30-day all-cause mortality (primary endpoint) and long-term mortality (3, 6, 12 months; secondary endpoints) compared to preoperative conservative treatment in high-risk patients undergoing CABG.

  • Elevated cardiac biomarkers (CK-MB > 6% of total-CK, Troponin I > 3-fold of specific test reference) or myocardial infarction (NSTEMI or STEMI) within the last 4 days.

Key exclusion criteria:

  • Contraindications for IABP
  • Cardiogenic shock
  • Shock of any other cause
  • Critical preoperative state according to EuroSCORE II-criteria

IABP-associated complications
Time Frame: 8 days (average)
IABP-associated complications occur most often during IABP-support. However, after weaning from IABP, patients can still have bleeding complications or thrombembolic complications. Therefore, IABP-associated complications are monitored during the whole hospital stay
