  1. Veno-arterial ECLS for cardiogenic shock STS Symposium: Mechanical Circulatory Support for Advanced Cardiopulmonary Disease September 2013 Chicago I have no financial interests in any of the technologies discussed and nothing to disclose Charles Hoopes MD University of Kentucky

  2. Questions & learning objectives…ECLS & cardiogenic shock Is “salvage” ECLS in the patient with cardiopulmonary collapse an evidence based approach … the clinical rationale for and clinical limitations of ECMO What are the physiological goals of ECLS in cardiogenic shock … what are the biological and clinical markers of success ? How does “emergent” ECLS in the patient with cardiogenic shock change the options and the risk profile of subsequent durable LVAD implantation and transplant ?

  3. “Our interventionists had a case recently where patient had a LAD PCI then was brought back a couple of days later for a RCA mid lesion.  She arrested on insertion of the catheter in the aortic root -- never did a manipulation -- and after initial unsuccessful resuscitation, placed an impella and kept it up.  They injected her L and it was open and, while still arrested opened the mid RCA.  They called us after about 45 min of arrest when she was still in asystole.  We then had ECMO there but  by then it was an hour of arrest with no rhythm and felt ECMO would be futile.  Do you have or know of any experience that would justify a trial of ECMO in this situation.  I could understand if it was a bridge to recovery with severe shock, but with a rhythm -- or if there was a L main or other proximal lesion to open.” veno-arterial ECMO/ECLS ?

  4. 41 yo male Vfib arrest (in house) … total occlusion LAD. Acute thrombosis of RCA during LAD PCI … ventricular arrhythmias with cardioversions x 16. IABP and Impella 2.5 … transferred to ICU with patent LAD, recurrent thrombosis of RCA (100% mid), inotropes. Clotting diathesis … ? 24 hours post cath … CI 1.6, Cr 5.5, AST > 5000, lactate > 6 …Q’s in II, III, aVF … trops > 50. Adequate gas exchange … Return to cath lab … patent LAD, 100% mid RCA … Vfib veno-arterial ECMO/ECLS ?

  5. “Defibrillation was attempted again but remained unsuccessful. CPR continued. We suspected that the patient’s heart was too distended to permit termination of ventricular fibrillation … a decision was made to consult cardiac surgery about the initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for full hemodynamic support and to decompress the heart and facilitate termination of ventricular fibrillation.” n engl j med 369;11 nejm.org september 12, 2013

  6. Pubmed search: “ECMO and cardiogenic shock” … 403 citations (60% w/in the past 60 months) … the large randomized IABP-Shock II Trial did not show a significant reduction in 30-day mortality in cardiogenic shock with IABP insertion. … both the Impella pump and the Tandem Heart did not reduce 30-day mortality when compared with IABP in small randomized controlled trials … no randomized study data available for ECMO/ECLS use in cardiogenic shock

  7. Goldberg et al. Thirty-year trends (1975 to 2005) in the magnitude of,management of, and hospital death rates associated with cardiogenic shock in patients with acute myocardial infarction Circulation 2009;119:1211 Trends in the incidence rates of cardiogenic shock in patients with acute myocardial infarcts. 1 in 20 Trends in hospital case fatality rates in patients with acute myocardial infarct according to the presence of cardiogenic shock. 40%

  8. Is ECLS the answer ? 30% survival to discharge !

  9. ELSO Registry Jan 2010

  10. Among 98 patients … cardiogenic shock (34), ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (23), or asystole /pulseless electrical activity (41) 96% underwent emergency revascularization (2 received CABG) with successful angioplasty achieved in 71% (TIMI 3 flow) 55% were weaned from ECLS … ECLS-related complications occurred in 36%... cannulation site bleeding All-cause in-hospital mortality rate was 67.3%, and the survival rate to hospital discharge was 32.7%

  11. “ …disappointing results for the sole use of ECLS … aggressive initiation of ECLS could improve survival rates to 70% to 80% … the reason for cardiac surgeons to understand its lessons: Prolonged cardiogenic shock carries a high mortality without a plan for definitive additional therapy Revascularization in the setting of cardiogenic shock provides little or no additional benefit and in the short term may be detrimental by delaying definitive support ECLS is an effective method of early resuscitation of the moribund patients in shock … its effectiveness depends on end organ ischemic time, early ventricular recovery, or use of more definitive devices for long-term support” Invited Commentary George L Hicks, MD University of Rochester Medical Center

  12. “ECMO in advanced refractory AMI-CS is associated with acceptable outcomes in a well-selected population. ECMO in patients with an acute decompensation of a chronic cardiomyopathy should be carefully considered to avoid futile support.” ischemic 50% at 6 mos non-ischemic 20% Kaplan-Meier survival curve of all patients supported on ECMO for cardiogenic shock (subsequent management strategies included revascularization, VAD, or heart transplantation) Bermudez et al (2011) ECMO for advanced refractory shock in acute and chronic cardiomyopathy. AnnThorac Surg 92:2125

  13. Cannulation and initiation of flow … vascular access, gas exchange , and flow Do what you need to get what you want … perfusion w/o ischemia adequate hemodynamics “viable patient” Engineering should inform the discussion around patient care … “Thought algorithms” vs “protocols” ECMO: simple operation, complex procedure

  14. “Truisms” about ECLS/ECMO … ECMO resuscitates the moribound … it cannot reanimate the dead … question of patient viability or myocardial recovery ECMO remains a non-durable technology … ECLS is a simple procedure, extracorporeal technologies are a complex management paradigm ECLS accomplishes nothing (it is non-therapeutic), but facilitates everything

  15. Two types of ECMO/ECLS program … public health perspective … clinical goals define infrastructure (technology and personnel) Acutestabilization and short term transfer “moratorium of decision” programs (in house … cath lab, ED, OR) duration of support < 72 hrs, limited infrastructure rapid deployment technology (non-durable technologies) Integrated programs (ICU and/or transplant) “recovery” and “bridge to transplant” (referral based) duration of support > 72 hrs, extended infrastructure (MCS) durable technologies (“ambulatory ECMO”) … institutional culture and hospital structure impact on ECLS program design

  16. The 30-day mortality rate in patients with witnessed OHCA undergoing ECLS treatment can be significantly improved if ECLS support is established within the first 30 min after admission …rdECMO Leick et al (2013) Door-to-implantation time of extracorporeal life support systems predicts mortality in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

  18. Basic ECMO… Cannulation...clinical need determines strategy femoral vein to IJ (traditional VV) femoral vein to femoral artery (traditional VA) femoral vein and RIJ to femoral artery (VVA) RIJ dual lumen and subclavian artery (“walking hybrid”) RA to Ao (central VA)..”ambulatory CPB” (VAD) RA to PA…right heart bypass (VAD) PA to LA…right heart bypass (VAD) RIJ dual lumen cannula (VV Avalon DLC) RIJ dual lumen and femoral artery (VVA “sedate hybrid”) femoral artery to RA (AV) …reverse “pumpless” arterio-venous cannulation (pECLA) Membrane oxygenator (Quadrox) Centrifugal blood pump (Centrimag or Rotaflow), roller pump, or “native flow” (cardiac output) Anticoagulation (heparin ACT “point of care”, TEG) Personnel (MCS service line or ECMO specialists)

  19. Cardiopulmonary collapse (circulatory arrest) CPR “salvage” ECLS “moratorium of decision” … end organ injury “bridge to recovery” … myocardial injury “bridge to definitive therapy” … non-durable to durable support (…application and deployment) “emergent” ECLS Cardiogenic shock (INTERMACs I)

  20. Cannulation … Peripheral veno-arterial ECLS RA/femoral vein…retrograde femoral a. (ECMO) RA…antegrade right subclavian a. (8mm Dacron graft/ECMO) LA/femoral trans-septal …retrograde femoral a. Central veno-arterial ECLS RA to pulmonary a. (right heart) LA to aorta (VAD) RA to aorta (ECMO) (…application and deployment)

  21. Femoral cannulation for veno-arterial (VA) ECMO … RA/IVC drainage from CFV access (23/25F) …venous return limits flow Arterial inflow (17F) … “downsize” Distal arterial inflow (6F) … “downsize” …“open” versus “percutaneous” access ? *no complications *exit strategy

  22. VAda ECMO VenoArterial (distal artery) ECMO Non physiologic and inherently unstable Efficacy proportional to LVEF Retrograde arterial flow … LVEF and cerebral perfusion, LVEDP ! Distal malperfusion … The patient … sedate and non-ambulatory Blood path and directional flow …

  23. Aziz et al (2010) Initial experience with CentriMag extracorporal membrane oxygenation for support of critically ill patients with refractory cardiogenic shock JHLT 29:66

  24. Determine blood flow requirements … Neonate 100 to 150 mL/min/kg Pediatric 75 to 120 mL/min/kg Adult 50 to 80 mL/min/kg Assumptions: “flow is laminar viscous and incompressible …and the flow is through a constant circular cross-section …” In reality: Flow is rarely laminar … Hct and temp affect viscosity … The cross sectional area is a composite of fixed (cannula) and variable (vessels) components

  25. …standardized system to describe the pressure-flow characteristics of a given cannula … if specific flows are needed to support a given patient, an arterial and venous cannula of an adequate M-number can be chosen from a given nomogram that will support flow at acceptable pressures

  26. A single number that represents the relationship between cannula size, flow, and pressure drop. M-number for tubing: 1/4 inch, 1 meter M= 3.1 3/8 inch, 1 meter M= 2.0 1/2 inch, 1 meter M= 0.9 Assuming non-turbulent blood flow  M-number :  resistance

  27. Cannulation … 16F (5.3mm) 18F (6.0m 20F (6.7mm) 22F (7.3mm) 18F (6.0mm) 20F (6.7mm) 22F (7.3mm) 24F (8.0mm) 28F (9.3mm) 55 cm (21.6”) 68 cm (26.8”)

  28. Femoral VA ECMO … low EF non-physiological: retrograde blood path with limited pulmonary blood flow (oxygenator) decreased LV pre-load … myocardial recovery increased LVEDP … capillary leak and acute lung injury gas exchange … membrane oxygenator cannulation … limb ischemia This is not cardiopulmonary bypass … there is no venous reservoir

  29. Veno-arterial ECLS in cardiogenic shock VA ECMO is not CPB … any decrease in pre-load is at the expense of increased afterload Left ventricular stasis … elevated LVEDP with pulmonary edema and LV thrombus Vent, apical cannulation, septostomy, anticoagulation, or.. “hybrid procedure” … VA ECMO and antegrade technology RV

  31. Femoral VA ECMO … with myocardial recovery limited retrograde blood path with significant pulmonary blood flow (oxygenator) increased LV pre-load … myocardial recovery decreased LVEDP … no lung injury gas exchange … mixed …membrane oxygenator and lungs cannulation … lower limb ischemia

  32. Management algorithms are complicated by inadequate predictors of myocardial recovery … ECHO and markers of perfusion Veno-arterial ECLS targeted flow rates … 90 80 70 60 50 Cardiac power output > 0.6 Mean arterial pressure CPO = MAP x CO/451 3.0 5.5 Cardiac output (L/min)

  33. RIJ-subclavian VA ECMO antegrade blood path with significant pulmonary blood flow (oxygenator) increased LV pre-load … myocardial recovery decreased LVEDP … gas exchange … mixed …membrane oxygenator and lungs cannulation … upper limb ischemia 8mm Dacron RA

Javidfar, Jeffrey; Brodie, Daniel; Costa, Joseph; Miller, Joanna; Jurrado, Julissa; LaVelle, Matthew; Newmark, Alexis; Takayama, Hiroo; Sonett, Joshua; Bacchetta, Matthew ASAIO Journal. 58(5):494-498, September/October 2012. DOI: 10.1097/MAT.0b013e318268ea15

  35. RIJ dual lumen VV-subclavian Arterial ECMO … hybrid ECMO (venoveno-arterial) antegrade flow … mixed cardiopulmonary disease “hybrid” VVA, or full VV, or full VA support technology … not salvage ambulatory 8mm Dacron RA Brodie and Bacchetta (2011) NEJM

  36. …percutaneous approach … trans-septal left ventricular unloading

  37. Evolving applications … “virtual VVA ECMO” cor pulmonale and pulmonary veno-occlussive disease 68 yo scleroderma variant, elevated ANA…supra-systemic PA pressures on continuous dobutamine, lasix qtt, high flow O2. Failed vasodilator therapy x 3…non-ambulatory with progressive syncopal episodes… To cath lab…combined atrial septostomy and right IJ dual lumen venovenous ECMO cannulation…bridge to transplant (ECMO day 4)

  38. Cannulation … Peripheral veno-arterial ECLS RA/femoral vein…retrograde femoral a. (ECMO) RA…antegrade right subclavian a. (8mm Dacron graft/ECMO) LA/femoral trans-septal …retrograde femoral a. Central veno-arterial ECLS RA to pulmonary a. (right heart) LA to aorta (VAD) RA to aorta (ECMO) (…application and deployment)

  39. Central cannulation …

  40. Central cannulation … PA LA

  41. … integrated MCS ECMO cardiogenic shock … femoral ECMO … to central ECMO … to LVAD and oxyRVAD with RV failure… to long-term Centrimag RVAD support … bridge to transplant

  42. Cannulation and initiation … ten general rules and painful lessons • 1. re-think “application” … why am I doing this and what do I hope to accomplish • 2. re-think “deployment” … “this” cannulation strategy … “now?” • 3. Got heparin ? (0.5 mg/kg) … plan an anticoagulation strategy • 4. Crystalloid prime … or colloid prime (FFP) • 5. Look at your lines … air, clamps, length, and entry points • 6. Come up slowing … establish flow, then increase flow • 7. Remember the patient … inotropes and airway (minute ventilation is 15L/min … sweep is 10L ...!!!) • 8. Most disasters happen five minutes after the celebration begins .. This is a human endeavor • 9. Any surgical bleeding is unacceptable • 10. Have an exit strategy

  43. … mortality assessment of pre-operative risk factors that might serve as targets for goal-directed interventions meant to improve LVAD candidate survival (age, albumin, renal and hepatic insufficiency, center experience) “… preserved end-organ function, however preoperatively achieved, might be the most important predictor of successful LVAD outcome.” Low risk < 1.58 Medium risk: 1.58 to 2.48 High risk > 2.48 Cowger et al (2013) Predicting Survival in Patients Receiving Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices:The HeartMate II Risk Score. J Am Coll Cardiol. 61:313–21

  44. bilirubin lactate RVAD Can pre-operative ECMO alter the patient risk profile of LVAD implantation … Or does it simply make the numbers better… with the additional morbidity of a pre-implant procedure? AST ECMO RVAD explant LVAD Na Cr

  45. The Right Ventricular Failure Risk Score (RVFRS): A pre-operative tool for assessing the risk of right ventricular failure in left ventricular assist device candidates Vasopressor requirement (4) AST > 80 (2) Bilirubin > 2 (2.5) Cr > 2.3 (3) Low risk (OR 0.5) RVFRS < 3 (90% six mo survival) High risk (OR 7.6) RVFRS > 5.5 (66% six mo survival) Pre ECMO RVFRS score … 11.5 Post ECMO RVFRS score … 2.5 Creatinine ECLS LVAD AST Can pre-operative ECMO convert a patient at high risk for biventricular support into a “conventional” LVAD recipient? Bilirubin Matthews at al (2008) JACC 51:2163

  46. ECLS and cardiogenic shock… Deployment of ECMO technologies in the context of medical futility generally results in futile deployment of technology…it is rarely “the device” ECMO technology generally restores physiology but may not alter survival depending upon the specifics of deployment ECMO can support patients awaiting good clinical decision making … it is ineffective in supporting bad clinical decisions
