Abstract
Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the potential role of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)-related thrombocytopenia in patientswith cardiogenic shock (CS) due to ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) dien in hospital.Material and Methods: We retrospectively included 142 consecutive CS patients who were treated with IABP support from September2013 to March 2017 in a tertiary heart center.
