Filter by:The aim of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of early intra-aortic balloon pump implantation at admission over local clinical practice (pharmacological only) in acute decompensated heart failure patients with cardiogenic shock, with respect to 60-day survival or successful bridge to heart replacement therapies (heart transplant or Left Ventricular Assist Device implantation).
In the last 10 years, severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) was responsible of multiple outbreaks putting a strain on the public health worldwide. Indeed, SARI had a relevant role in the development of pandemic and epidemic with terrible consequences such as the 2009 H1N1 pandemic which led to more than 200.000 respiratory deaths globally. In late December 2019, in Wuhan, Hubei, China, a new respiratory syndrome emerged with clinical signs of viral pneumonia and person-to-person transmission. Tests showed the appearance of a novel coronavirus, namely the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Two other strains, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) have caused severe respiratory illnesses, sometimes fatal. In particular, the mortality rate associated with SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, was of 10% and 37% respectively. Even though COVID-19 appeared from the first time in China, quickly it spread worldwide and cases have been described in other countries such as Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, France, Iran, USA and many other countries. An early paper reported 41 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection in Wuhan. The median age of the patients was 49 years and mostly men (73%). Among those, 32% were admitted to the ICU because of the severe hypoxemia. The most associated comorbidities were diabetes (20%), hypertension (15%), and cardiovascular diseases (15%). On admission, 98% of the patients had bilateral multiple lobular and sub-segmental areas of consolidation. Importantly, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) developed in 29% of the patients, while acute cardiac injury in 12%, and secondary infection in 10%. Invasive mechanical ventilation was required in 10% of those patients, and two of these patients (5%) had refractory hypoxemia and received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In a later retrospective report by Wang and collaborators, clinical characteristics of 138 patients with COVID-19 infection were described. ICU admission was required in 26.1% of the patients for acute respiratory distress syndrome (61.1%), arrhythmia (44.4%), and shock (30.6%). ECMO support was needed in 11% of the patients admitted to the ICU. During the period of follow-up, overall mortality was 4.3%. The use of ECMO in COVID-19 infection is increasing due to the high transmission rate of the infection and the respiratory-related mortality. Therefore, the investigators believe that ECMO in case of severe interstitial pneumonia caused by COVID could represent a valid solution in order to avoid lung injuries related to prolonged treatment with non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation. In addition, ECMO could have a role for the systemic complications such as septic and cardiogenic shock as well myocarditis scenarios. Potential clinical effects and outcomes of the ECMO support in the novel coronavirus pandemic will be recorded and analyzed in our project. The researchers hypothesize that a significant percentage of patients with COVID-19 infection will require the utilize of ECMO for refactory hypoxemia, cardiogenic shock or septic shock. This study seeks to prove this hypothesis by conducting an observational retrospective/prospective study of patients in the ICU who underwent ECMO support and describe clinical features, severity of pulmonary dysfunction and risk factors of COVID-patients who need ECMO support, the incidence of ECMO use, ECMO technical characteristics, duration of ECMO, complications and outcomes of COVID-patients requiring ECMO support.
Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) may provide pulmonary and circulatory support for patients with acute heart failure refractory to conventional medical therapy. However, indications and effectiveness of ECLS engagement post-surgery remains a concern. The investigators sought to analyze indications, modality and outcomes of PS-ECLS, to identify predictors of early and midterm survival after PS-ECLS. The investigators have recorded prospectively, and analysed data of 209 consecutive PS-ECLS patients between January 2004 and December 2018. Demographic and clinical data before, during and after PS-ECLS were collected and their influence on hospital mortality and outcomes (early and midterm) will analyse. Multivariate analysis of pre PS-ECLS implantation factors (as age, female sex , insulin-dependent diabetes, pulmonary hypertension, STS, type of surgical procedure data, pre-ECLS blood lactate level) will be made for identify prognostic risk factors of in-hospital mortality. Overall survival will be analysed, at 6 months,1-year and 5-years, respectively and the factors influencing mild/term outcome will be investigated.
This is a pilot, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-part safety and efficacy study. Subjects will consist of patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure with persistent hypotension.
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a temporary mechanical circulatory support that has been increasingly used over the last decade to restore and maintain adequate end-organ perfusion, with data suggesting improvement in outcome for patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. Nevertheless, VA-ECMO weaning should be questioned every day during patient's support. Indeed, studies have shown that the incidence of severe complications related to ECMO is associated with longer circulatory support duration. Inotropes such as dobutamine are currently used to improve myocardial contractility during VA-ECMO support with the aim to enhance left ventricular ejection, aortic valve opening and to shorten ECMO duration. However, many data suggest an increase in mortality related to predisposition to myocardial ischemia and arrythmias. Levosimendan is a calcium sensitizing inotropic agent with systemic, coronary and pulmonary vasodilatory properties and specific cardioprotective effect without increasing myocardial oxygen consumption. The use of levosimendan in patients undergoing VA-ECMO may therefore be of interest both to reduce the duration of mechanical support and to minimize severe complication with few data suggesting a potential benefit of levosimendan for VA-ECMO weaning and survival in post-cardiotomy low cardiac output syndrome with improvement of endothelial function and hemodynamics. Investigators therefore sought to investigate whether the use of levosimendan improves weaning for patients undergoing VA-ECMO support for refractory cardiogenic shock hospitalized in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU).
The study will provide data on profile, management, outcome, and evolution over time of cardiogenic shock patients admitted to the Intensive Coronary Care Units
The purpose of this study is to examine the clinical treatment of patients diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy complicated by cardiogenic shock.
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, single-center efficacy study of acutely decompensated heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), low cardiac index (<2.2) as determined by pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) who have been hemodynamically stabilized and ready for transition to oral vasodilator therapy at the discretion of the clinician. The investigators would like to accomplish the following objectives with this study: 1. Establish the superiority of an upfront initiation strategy for sacubitril-valsartan at maintaining patients on ARNI therapy at one-month follow-up compared to usual care. 2. Establish the safety of initiating sacubitril-valsartan in an intensive care setting 3. Characterize the hemodynamic effect of sacubitril-valsartan on patients with low cardiac output 4. Expand the population of hospitalized patients that can be initiated on ARNIs and thus facilitate prior to hospital discharge patients who are on optimal goal-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure
Data from case series and large retrospective trials suggest that the early treatment of cardiogenic shock AMI patients with the association of VA-ECMO and IABP may significantly decrease mortality, which is still unacceptably high nowadays (40-50% at 30 days). An important benefit for the patients randomized to the ECMO arm is expected and the risk-to-benefit ratio is expected to be in favor of the experimental treatment arm.
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS), also known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), is an extracorporeal technique of providing effective cardiac and respiratory support to patients with lungs and/or heart failure. There was a growth in ECLS cases, centers, and center scale in China during the past decade. This multi-center registry was conducted by Chinese Society of Extracorporeal Life Support. The objectives were to investigate China statistics of ECLS and to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients with ECLS.
