note = "Clinical experience has shown that patients with end-stage heart failure can respond successfully to intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP). We sought to determine the magnitude of this observation and evaluate the association IABP response had with outcomes following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.",
