Abstract:
Coronary stenting was performed in 15 selected patients with cardiogenic shock, with favorable clinical and angiographic outcomes. This experience suggests that coronary stenting may play an important adjunctive role in the management of cardiogenic shock and may improve outcome beyond that achieved with balloon angioplasty alone.
