*4.1.1 Emergent PCI post myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock*

Koutouzis et al. [20] showed how ECMO assistance was used successfully and with good results during PCI in a patient with CS. Subsequently, Sheu et al. [19] recommended that patients with STEMI complicated by CS, unresponsive to inotropes and IABP placement, had lower 30-day mortality after prompt-ECMO support in the cath lab in comparison to a non-supported cohort with a similar presentation.
