Extracorporeal Life Support in Cardiogenic Shock

The aim of the study is to examine whether treatment with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in addition to revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or alternatively coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal medical treatment is beneficial in comparison to no ECLS in patients with severe infarctrelated cardiogenic shock with respect to 30-day mortality

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Cardiogenic shock complicating AMI (STEMI or NSTEMI) plus obligatory:
  • Planned revascularization (PCI or alternatively CABG)
  • Systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg >30 min or catecholamines required to maintain pressure >90 mmHg during Systole
  • Signs of impaired organ perfusion with at least one of the following criteria a) Altered mental Status, b) Cold, clammy skin and extremities, c) Oliguria with urine output <30 ml/h
  • Arterial lactate >3 mmol/l
  • Informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  • Resuscitation >45 minutes
  • Mechanical cause of cardiogenic shock
  • Onset of shock >12 h
  • Severe peripheral artery disease with impossibility to insert ECLS cannulae
  • Age <18 years or age >75 years
  • Shock of other cause (bradycardia, sepsis, hypovolemia, etc.)
  • Other severe concomitant disease with limited life expectancy <6 months
  • Pregnancy
  • Participation in another trial

Treatment and study plan

ECLS insertion

Procedure

After diagnostic angiography the culprit lesion should be identified and revascularization (preferably by PCI, alternatively CABG) should be planned. ECLS insertion should be performed preferably before revascularization

Revascularisation and optimal medical treatment

Other

After diagnostic angiography the culprit lesion should be identified and revascularization (preferably by PCI, alternatively CABG) should be planned.

Primary outcomes

  1. 30-day mortality

    Time frame: 30 days

    30-day all-cause death after randomization according to the intention-to-treat principle

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to death within 6 and 12 months follow-up

    Time frame: 6 and 12 months

  2. Length of mechanical ventilation

    Time frame: 0 to 10 days

  3. Time to hemodynamic stabilization

    Time frame: 0 to 10 days

  4. Duration of catecholamine therapy

    Time frame: 0 to 10 days

  5. Serial creatinine-level and creatinine-clearance

    Time frame: 0 to 10 days from time of randomization until stabilization

    Creatinine-clearance (Cockcroft-Gault-Formula)

  6. Length of ICU stay

    Time frame: 0 to 11 days

  7. Length of hospital stay

    Time frame: 0 to 14 days

  8. Serial SAPS-II score

    Time frame: 0 to 11 days

  9. Mean and area under the curve of arterial lactate

    Time frame: 0 to 14 days

  10. Acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy

    Time frame: 0 to 14 days

  11. Cerebral performance category (CPC)

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 and 12 months

  12. Cardiovascular mortality

    Time frame: 6 and 12 months

  13. Hospitalization for heart failure

    Time frame: 6 and 12 months

  14. Recurrent infarction

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 and 12 months

  15. Repeat revascularization (PCI or CABG)

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 and 12 months

  16. Status of Quality of life measured by EQ-5D-5L descriptive system

    Time frame: 12 months

    The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems expressed by 1-digit-numbers ranging from 1 (extreme problems) to 5 (no problems). The toal score ranges from 0-15 where 15 is the worst score.

  17. Status of Quality of life measured by EQ VAS

    Time frame: 12 months

    The EuroQol Group visual analogue scale (EQ VAS) records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale from 0 to 100, where the maximum 100 is labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and the minimum 0 is labelled 'The worst health you can imagine'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflect the patient's own judgement.
