To examine whether venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) improves survival of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted up to August 2019 of the databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane. All studies reporting the survival of adult patients with acute PE treated with VA-ECMO and including four patients or more were included. Exclusion criteria were: correspondences, reviews and studies in absence of a full text, written in other languages than English or Dutch, or dating before 1980. Short-term (hospital or 30-day) survival data were pooled and presented with relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Also, the following pre-defined factors were evaluated for their association with survival in VA-ECMO treated patients: age > 60 years, male sex, pre-ECMO cardiac arrest, surgical embolectomy, catheter directed therapy, systemic thrombolysis, and VA-ECMO as single therapy.
A total of 29 observational studies were included (N = 1947 patients: VA-ECMO N = 1138 and control N = 809). There was no difference in short-term survival between VA-ECMO treated patients and control patients (RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.71-1.16). In acute PE patients undergoing VA-ECMO, age > 60 years was associated with lower survival (RR 0.72, 95% CI 0.52-0.99), surgical embolectomy was associated with higher survival (RR 1.96, 95% CI 1.39-2.76) and pre-ECMO cardiac arrest showed a trend toward lower survival (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.77-1.01). The other evaluated factors were not associated with a difference in survival.
At present, there is insufficient evidence that VA-ECMO treatment improves short-term survival of acute PE patients. Low quality evidence suggest that VA-ECMO patients aged ≤60 years or who received SE have higher survival rates. Considering the limited evidence derived from the present data, this study emphasizes the need for prospective studies.

探讨静脉-动脉体外膜肺氧合(VA-ECMO)是否能提高急性肺栓塞(PE)患者的生存率。
遵循PRISMA指南,截至2019年8月对以下数据库进行系统检索:PubMed/MEDLINE、EMBASE和Cochrane。纳入所有报告接受VA-ECMO治疗的成年急性PE患者生存率且患者数量不少于4例的研究。排除标准为:通信、综述以及无全文的研究、非英文或荷兰语撰写的研究,或1980年以前的研究。汇总短期(住院或30天)生存数据,并以相对风险(RR)和95%置信区间(95%CI)呈现。此外,评估以下预先定义的因素与接受VA-ECMO治疗患者生存率的相关性:年龄>60岁、男性、ECMO前心脏骤停、外科血栓切除术、导管定向治疗、全身溶栓以及VA-ECMO作为单一治疗方法。
共纳入29项观察性研究(N = 1947例患者:VA-ECMO组N = 1138例,对照组N = 809例)。接受VA-ECMO治疗的患者与对照组患者的短期生存率无差异(RR 0.91,95%CI 0.71 - 1.16)。在接受VA-ECMO治疗的急性PE患者中,年龄>60岁与较低的生存率相关(RR 0.72,95%CI 0.52 - 0.99),外科血栓切除术与较高的生存率相关(RR 1.96,95%CI 1.39 - 2.76),ECMO前心脏骤停显示出生存率降低的趋势(RR 0.88,95%CI 0.77 - 1.01)。其他评估因素与生存率差异无关。
目前,没有足够的证据表明VA-ECMO治疗能提高急性PE患者的短期生存率。低质量证据表明,年龄≤60岁或接受外科血栓切除术的VA-ECMO患者生存率较高。鉴于现有数据得出的证据有限,本研究强调需要进行前瞻性研究。
