PG - 396-403 LID - 10.1097/MAT.0000000000002136 [doi] AB - The purpose of this study was to evaluate left ventricular (LV) unloading strategies in patients supported with peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). A retrospective review was conducted of all consecutive patients requiring VA-ECMO support for any indication, who underwent novel LV unloading strategies with either direct left atrial venoarterial (LAVA) cannulation or pulmonary artery venoarterial (PAVA) venting, in comparison to Impella and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). The primary outcome was successful bridge to transplant, LV assist device, or myocardial recovery. Forty-six patients (63% male, mean age 52.8 +/- 17.6 years) were included. Fourteen patients (30%) underwent novel unloading with either LAVA or PAVA, 11 patients (24%) underwent IABP placement, and 21 patients (46%) underwent Impella insertion. In the novel LV unloading cohort, 10 patients (71%) survived to hospital discharge. Four patients (29%) were weaned from ECMO and eight patients (57%) underwent cardiac transplantation. Although a trend favoring cannula-based unloading for the primary outcome was noted, the cohort was too small for statistical significance (79% LAVA/PAVA, 57% Impella, 45% IABP; p = 0.21). However, probability of survival was greater in the LAVA/PAVA cohort compared to Impella and IABP ( p < 0.05). Thus, we demonstrate the efficacy of LA and PA cannulation as an alternative LV unloading strategy for patients supported with peripheral VA-ECMO. CI - Copyright (c) ASAIO 2024.
