Abstract
Coronary stenting was performed in 15 selected patients with cardiogen ic shock, with favorable clinical and angiographic outcomes. This expe rience suggests that coronary stenting may play an important adjunctiv e role in the management of cardiogenic shock and may improve outcome beyond that achieved with balloon angioplasty alone.
