BCIS-1: Pre-Procedure Elective IABP Use in High-Risk Patients Reduces Mortality by 34% at 5 Years

05/03/2012

The BCIS-1 Study was the first randomized, controlled, multicenter trial to assess the efficacy and safety of elective intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use in patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BCIS-1...
