Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: Its role in cardiogenic shock

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

By rapidly establishing reperfusion, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) can have a beneficial effect in patients with cardiogenic shock. In several series, PTCA was associated with survival to hospital discharge of approximately 60%. Unresolved issues relate to the management of patients with multivessel disease, the role of concomitant thrombolytic therapy, and the use of mechanical support devices.
