Left Ventricular Unloading Is Associated With Lower Mortality in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock Treated With Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Abstract: Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly used to treat cardiogenic shock. However, VA-ECMO might hamper myocardial recovery. The Impella unloads the left ventricle. The aim of this study was to evaluate if left ventricular unloading in cardiogenic shock patients treated with VA-ECMO was associated with lower mortality. Methods: Data from 686 consecutive patients with cardiogenic shock treated with VA-ECMO w… Show more

“…Additionally, the comparison is limited to Impella 5.0 and does not consider the use of other temporary MCS devices, nor the utilization of VA-ECMO and Impella 5.0 in the same patient, which has been documented in clinical practice. 29 , 32 Potential differences between settings such as placement in a catheter laboratory versus operating room (e.g. in terms of medical resource use) were also not considered in the analysis; however, this would not have influenced the results of the analysis when considered from the payer (health insurance) perspective.…”

“…This strategy may cause left ventricle (LV) distension which compromises myocardial recovery 5 . Direct LV unloading provided by Impella was associated with lower mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock supported with V-A-ECMO in a recent international multicenter study 6 .…”

“…The Impella is a catheter-mounted microaxial flow pump capable of drawing from 2.5 to 6.0 to l/min of blood from the left ventricle into the aortic root, across the aortic valve. The current use of Impella and V-A ECMO is called ECPella and it is an efficient technique to unload the LV 6 .…”

“…Und nach 6 Monaten waren von diesen ECMO-Patienten – bei guter Lebensqualität – noch alle am Leben, wohingegen keiner der ACLS-Patienten diesen Zeitpunkt erlebte. In einer weiteren Kohortenstudie von 686 Patienten zum Einsatz der VA-ECMO beim kardiogenen Schock zeigte sich, dass die pathophysiologisch sinnvoll erscheinende zusätzliche Entlastung des linken Ventrikels durch ein Impella-System (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA) die Mortalität weiter senkt [ 14 ].…”
