Nowhere is that tension more apparent than in high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In these cases, the margin between a good outcome and a catastrophic one is narrow, and the instinct to add protection with mechanical circulatory support can be powerful. Transient ischemia induced by balloon inflation or atherectomy can precipitate physiological collapse in patients with little reserve. Yet, to date, randomized trials have not supported routine use of mechanical circulatory support in cases other than cardiogenic shock. aCARDIOLOGÍA GENERAL aENFERMEDAD CORONARIA aINFARTO DE MIOCARDIO aSOPORTE CIRCULATORIO MECÁNICO aWanamaker, Brett L. 0 022717dMassachusetts NEJM GroupoNEJM015tThe New England Journal of Medicine wESSALUDx0028-4793
