Core Tip	This minireview suggested that further investigations are needed to determine whether there is a real link between thrombocytopenia (TC), a probably well defined covariate, and ischemic outcomes or whether intra-aortic balloon (IABP) is the joining link between these two variables and whose presence needs in any case be considered in multivariable statistics. Post-percutaneous coronary intervention TC could be only a secondary effect of IABP use. On turn, the prolonged use of heparin necessarily accompanying the use of IABP, and producing a paradoxical pro-thrombotic TC, might also be implicated.
