Background: For short-term ventricular and pulmonary support the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system using the Bio-Medicus centrifugal pump (Medtronic®, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was applied in 108 patients with cardiac low-output. Methods: From December 1996 to July 2006 the ECMO was implanted in 108 patients (73 adult, mean age: 49.3±18.0 yrs and 35 children, mean age: 1.3 ± 2.7 yrs) with mostly postcardiotomy cardiac low output. The surgical procedures included congenital heart surgery (n=35), heart transplantation (HTx) (n=21), coronary artery bypass operation (CABG) and/or valvular operation (n=33), other operations (n=6) and 13 patients with ECMO support for bridge to recovery. Results: The mean supporting time was 5.1±5.6 days. Overall, 30-day-survival was 40.2%. Best survival rates were seen after congenital heart surgery (24/35, 65.7%) and after HTx (9/21, 42.9%); the worst rates were in the group of CABG and/or valvular operations (5/33, 15.2%), only ECMO support (3/13, 23.1%) and other operations (1/6, 16.7%). Fifty-four patients died while supported by ECMO, 15 were weaned from ECMO but died in hospital, 39 patients were weaned and survived. Causes of death were multi-organ failure (40.6%), bleeding (23.2%), persistent cardiac low output (21.7%), thrombembolic events (8.7%), and graft failure (5.8%). Markers for adverse outcome were identified as older age, high body weight, increased AST/GOT levels, and lower thrombocyte count in adults; and as higher levels of serum creatinine in pediatric patients.?Conclusions: ECMO support showed best results in pediatric patients after congenital heart surgery and in patients after HTx in contrast to multimorbid, older patients with often irreversible myocardial damage. |
