Abstract
This article presents two clinical cases of patients with myocardial infarction and stage A (at risk) and B (beginning) cardiogenic shock who underwent intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP). In patients with a high risk of classic cardiogenic shock and/or the no-reflow phenomenon, stenting of the infarct-related coronary artery during this type of mechanical circulatory support was performed without complications. Theoretical and practical aspects of using IABP at different stages of cardiogenic shock are discussed.
