Outcome of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Combined with Intraaortic Balloon Pump Hemodynamic Support during the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Process for Patients with Cardiac Shock Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction.

We evaluate the effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation combined with intraaortic balloon pump mechanical circulatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction during the PCI process. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation combined with intraaortic balloon pump hemodynamic support during the percutaneous coronary intervention process for patients with cardiac shock complicating acute myocardial infarction might play a complementary role. Yet, evidence of application of both devices at the same time remains unclear. Patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction who underwent PCI in our hospital from January 2015 to January 2018 were screened. Those who were under hemodynamic support of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation combined with intraaortic balloon pump were enrolled as the ECMO&IABP group, and the patients only under support of intraaortic balloon pump were enrolled as the IABP group. The differences of clinical prognosis between the two groups were compared. A total of 39 patients were enrolled into the study: 10 were in the ECMO&IABP group and 29 in the IABP group. Compared with the IABP group, more patients were complicated with old myocardial infarction (5/10 vs. 2/29, =0.002), more patients were diagnosed as non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (8/10 vs. 11/29, =0.002) and left ventricular ejecting fraction was lower (41.1 ± 9.86 vs. 48.55 ± 8.86, =0.03) in the ECMO&IABP group. Mechanical complications were higher in the ECMO&IABP group (5/10 vs. 5/29, =0.048), The survive rate in the ECMO&IABP group is higher than that in the IABP group (90.00% vs. 47.83%, =0.042) at one-year follow-up. Compared with only IABP, ECMO combined with IABP hemodynamic support during the PCI process for patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction enjoys better mortality outcome.
