Management of high-risk elderly patients requiring revascularisation remains a clinical challenge. We report a case of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assisted complex percutaneous coronary intervention in a high-risk octogenarian. An 83-year-old female with signs of worsening heart failure was admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary care facility. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction of 20% with severe mitral regurgitation and mild aortic and tricuspid valve insufficiency. Three-vessel disease was found during coronary angiography. Due to the patient's frailty, a high-risk surgery decision to proceed with ECMO assisted percutaneous coronary intervention was made during a heart team meeting. Following initiation of mechanical support, coronary lesions were treated with three drug-eluting stents. After the procedure, the patient was transferred to the ICU on ECMO support, where she was successfully weaned from the device 9 h later. Her ICU stay was four days. She was successfully discharged from the hospital after uneventful recovery. At one-year's follow-up, the patient was clinically stable in an overall state of general well-being and with complete participation in routine activities; she had good exercise tolerance and no signs of ischemia. This report highlights the possibility of use of ECMO during PCI in high-risk elderly patients.
对需要血运重建的高危老年患者进行管理仍然是一项临床挑战。我们报告了一例在体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)辅助下对一名高危八旬老人进行复杂经皮冠状动脉介入治疗的病例。一名83岁女性,出现心力衰竭加重迹象,被收入一家三级医疗机构的急诊科。经胸超声心动图显示左心室射血分数降至20%,伴有严重二尖瓣反流以及轻度主动脉瓣和三尖瓣关闭不全。冠状动脉造影发现三支血管病变。由于患者身体虚弱,在心脏团队会议上做出了进行ECMO辅助经皮冠状动脉介入治疗这一高危手术的决定。在启动机械支持后,使用三个药物洗脱支架对冠状动脉病变进行了治疗。术后,患者在ECMO支持下被转入重症监护病房(ICU),9小时后成功撤机。她在ICU住院四天。康复过程顺利后,她成功出院。在一年的随访中,患者临床状况稳定,整体状态良好,能够完全参与日常活动;她有良好的运动耐量,没有缺血迹象。本报告强调了在高危老年患者的经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)期间使用ECMO的可能性。
