PG - 219-226 LID - 10.1097/MAT.0000000000000804 [doi] AB - Combination of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and a percutaneous microaxial left ventricular assist device (pLVAD), or "EC-VAD," has been reported in cases of left ventricular decompression with mixed results. We conducted a retrospective review of patients who received EC-VAD (n = 29) or isolated VA-ECMO therapy (ECMO-only; n = 196) for refractory cardiogenic shock between February 2011 and October 2014. Fourteen patients received VA-ECMO and then Impella pLVAD (E-->EC-VAD), and 15 received the Impella pump then VA-ECMO (I-->EC-VAD). E-->EC-VAD patients demonstrated decreased pulmonary artery systolic (36.00 +/- 16.84 mm Hg versus 30.63 +/- 12.13 mm Hg; p = 0.049) and diastolic (24.25 +/- 13.45 mm Hg versus 17.25 +/- 7.96 mm Hg, p = 0.049) pressures by 24 hours post-EC-VAD implant. In the same period, I-->EC-VAD patients demonstrated improved SvO2 (43.14 +/- 16.75% versus 75.18 +/- 13.88%, p = 0.043) and PaO2/FiO2 ratio (148.55 +/- 67.69 mm Hg versus 374.51 +/- 170.97 mm Hg, p = 0.043). Thirty-day survival rates were 42.9% in E-->EC-VAD, 46.7% in I-->EC-VAD, and 49.0% in ECMO-only (p = 0.913). Hemolysis occurred more in EC-VAD patients (44.83% versus 17.35% in ECMO-only, p = 0.002); however, there was no increased frequency of other adverse events including bleeding and lower limb ischemia. Despite increased hemolysis, combined use of VA-ECMO and pLVAD may improve or circumvent left ventricular distension in refractory cardiogenic shock while promoting adequate blood flow.
