The RotaFlow (Maquet, Jostra Medizintechnik AG, Hirrlingen, Germany) and Levitronix CentriMag (Levitronix LCC, Waltham, MA, USA) veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support systems have been investigated as treatment for refractory cardiogenic shock. METHODS: Between 2004 and 2012, 119 consecutive adult patients were supported on RotaFlow (n=104) or CentriMag (n=15) ECMO at our Institution (79 men; mean age 57.3 ± 12.5 years, range 19-78 years). Indications for support were: failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass in the setting of postcardiotomy (n=47) and primary graft failure (n=26); post-acute myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock (n=11); acute myocarditis (n=3), and cardiogenic shock on chronic heart failure (n=32). RESULTS: A central ECMO setting was established in 64 (53.7%) patients while peripherally in 55 (46.2%). Overall mean support time was 10.9 ± 8.7 days (range 1-43 days). Forty-two (35.2%) patients died on ECMO. Overall success rate, in terms of survival on ECMO (n=77), weaning from mechanical support (n=51; 42.8%) and bridge to heart transplantation (n=26; 21.8%), was 64.7%. Sixty-eight (57.1%) patients were successfully discharged. Stepwise logistic regression identified blood lactate levels and creatine kinase-MB relative index at 72h after ECMO initiation, and number of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) transfused on ECMO as significant predictors of mortality. Central ECMO population had a higher rate of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration need and bleeding events compared with the peripheral setting. CONCLUSIONS: ECMO support provides encouraging results in different subsets of patients in cardiogenic shock. Blood lactate levels, creatine kinase-MB relative index and PRBCs transfused should be strictly monitored during veno-arterial ECMO running. Type of ECMO implantation, if peripheral or central, should be decided according to the specific patient subset.
