Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleBalloon pump assisted Coronary Intervention Study
Study acronymBCIS-1
Study hypothesisElective use of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) in high risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) patients will reduce the rate of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events compared to patients who are managed with no planned insertion of IABP.
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the UK MREC for Scotland on the 28th April 2005 (ref. no.: 05/MRE00/43).
ConditionMulti-vessel coronary artery disease
InterventionIn brief patients in the elective group will have the IABP inserted at the start of the procedure, before coronary intervention. Unless prolonged use is clinically indicated, the IABP will be removed four to 24 hours following PCI. An intravenous (iv) heparin infusion will be commenced on completion of the Abciximab infusion, with a target Activited Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ratio between 1.5 and 2.5. When it is felt appropriate to remove the IABP, the heparin infusion will be discontinued and the balloon catheter removed when the Activated Clotting Time (ACT) falls below 160 seconds. Manual pressure haemostasis is recommended.

In the No Planned group, bailout IABP insertion is at the discretion of the operator and would be considered acceptable if the following conditions occur during PCI:
1. Prolonged hypotension (relative to initial BP)
2. Refractory VT/VF
3. Pulmonary oedema

Bailout IABP insertion will be recorded as a secondary outcome event and not as cross-over between treatment assignments, if inserted in the context of the above conditions.
