Objective: We investigated whether the survival of patients with inhospital cardiac arrest could be extended by extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation supported membrane oxygenation compared those conventional resuscitation. Design: A retrospective, single-center, observational study. Setting: tertiary care university hospital. Patients: retrospectively analyzed a total 406 adult witnessed receiving for >10 mins from January 2003 to June 2009 (85 in group and 321 group). Interventions:...
The role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains controversial in adult patients with refractory septic shock. We sought to describe the clinical outcomes supported by ECMO during shock conventional treatment. analysed consecutive shock, assisted an system between January 2005 and December 2013 a single-centre registry. primary outcome was survival hospital discharge. A total 32 (21 males) received support for Of these, 14 (43.8%) had undergone cardiopulmonary resuscitation...
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) refers to use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in arrest. Although ECPR can increase survival rates after cardiac arrest, it also result poor post-resuscitation neurological status. Thus, we investigated predictors good outcomes successful ECPR. A total 227 patients underwent from May 2004 June 2013 at Samsung Medical Center. Successful was defined as more than 24 hours Neurological were assessed discharge using the...
There is no available data on clinical outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock who are supported an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) combination extracorporeal life support (ECLS). We analysed 96 consecutive AMI and complicating were assisted ECLS system between January 2004 December 2011. The primary was in-hospital mortality. secondary outcomes the success rate of weaning from lactate clearance for 48 hours (%). A IABP used 41 (42.7%)...
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is an effective mechanical circulatory support for cardiopulmonary failure. Conventionally, arterial cannula over 15 Fr inserted full in peripheral VA ECMO. However, limited data are available regarding the impact of size on clinical and procedural outcomes. Between January 2014 April 2016, 165 patients underwent ECMO with femoral artery cannulation were enrolled a single-center registry. We classified into two groups according to...
The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) has suggested that extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients should be managed by a multidisciplinary team. However, there are limited data on the impact of ECMO team outcomes with severe acute respiratory failure.All consecutive failure who underwent for support from January 2012 through December 2016 were divided into pre-ECMO period (before 2014, n = 70) and post-ECMO (after 46). Clinical characteristics compared between two...
Although there is an increase in the use of mechanical circulatory support devices to rescue patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock (CS), optimal timing application remains controversial. Therefore, this study aimed compare clinical outcomes between venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) insertion before and after coronary revascularization AMI CS.
Limited data are available on the impact of a specialized extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) team clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS). This study evaluated whether ECMO is associated improved in-hospital mortality AMI undergoing veno-arterial (VA) ECMO.A total 255 who underwent VA-ECMO were included. In January 2014, multidisciplinary was founded at our institution. Eligible classified into pre-ECMO group (n =...
Limited data are available on imaging predictors of neurological outcomes after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). We investigated the association initial brain computed tomography (CT) findings with following ECPR.Between February 2005 and December 2015, a total 42 patients who underwent CT scans within 48 h ECPR were analyzed. Loss boundary between gray matter white (LOB) or cortical sulcal effacement (SE), gray-to-white ratio (GWR), optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD)...
Background: We aimed to investigate the effects and proper timing of left heart decompression (LHD) on clinical outcomes patients venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). Methods: Among 335 adult who underwent VA ECMO from January 2013 December 2016, 50 LHD were analyzed. The divided into two groups according LHD: those in whom percutaneous was performed at initiation (prophylactic group, n=18) required treat complications impaired ventricle (LV) unloading (therapeutic...
Background: Acute cellular rejection is a major determinant of mortality and retransplantation after heart transplantation. We sought to evaluate the prognostic implications coronary microcirculatory dysfunction assessed by index resistance (IMR) for risk acute Methods: The present study prospectively enrolled 154 transplant recipients who underwent scheduled angiography invasive physiological assessment 1 month IMR under maximal hyperemia. By measuring hyperemic mean transit time using 3...
Objective: Tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) has a high postoperative mortality, despite recent advances in perioperative care. We report the results of our experience TVR with an emphasis on early mortality and morbidity long-term follow-up. Methods: Between October 1994 August 2007, 80 consecutive TVRs were performed 78 patients. The mean age was 48 ± 14 (range: 20–70) years. underlying disease patients classified as rheumatic (n = 54), congenital 12), endocarditis 10) or degenerative 4)....
