Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
Risk, Management, and Outcomes in PCI-Treated Acute Coronary Syndrome With Cardiogenic Shock
Authors' conclusion
Among patients with ACS-CS selected for PCI in a multicenter Japanese registry, management strategies changed substantially over the past decade, particularly regarding MCS utilization. However, no significant temporal improvement in in-hospital mortality was observed, underscoring the persistent clinical challenges of this high-risk PCI-treated population.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall MCS use | 66.5% | Not reported in the abstract | Not reported in the abstract | 56.7% | T2, T3: not reported in the abstract |
- Overall mechanical circulatory support (MCS) use: declined primarily due to reduced intra-aortic balloon pump use

- Reduced intra-aortic balloon pump use
- 46.5% to 31.2%
