AI Article Synopsis

  • A database has been established since 1985 for patients receiving mechanical circulatory support for post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock, reporting 1,279 cases.
  • The average duration of support is about 4 days, with patients using centrifugal pumps experiencing shorter support times compared to those with pneumatic support, although clinical outcomes are similar.
  • Approximately 45% of patients were successfully weaned off support, and 25% survived to discharge, consistent with previous statistics, while outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction remain limited, showing only 11.5% survival to discharge.

Article Abstract

The voluntary submission of data on patients who receive mechanical circulatory assistance for post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock and acute myocardial infarction has resulted in an established data base for the ongoing evaluation of these devices. Since its inception in 1985, there have been 1,279 cases reported of implanted ventricular assist devices for post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock. The average duration of support for these devices is approximately 4 days. Those patients who underwent implantation of a centrifugal pump had significantly shorter periods of support when compared with the pneumatically supported group. Patients had similar periods of support when comparing clinical outcome. Approximately 70% of the reported cases underwent centrifugal assistance. The majority of reported cases were supported with isolated left ventricular assistance. There was no significant difference in overall outcome statistics when comparing type or mode of support. Approximately 45% of reported patients were weaned from circulatory assistance, and 25% of all patients survived to discharge. These numbers remain consistent with previously reported statistics. The results with acute myocardial infarction remain limited. Of the 96 reported patients, 26% were weaned from support and only 11.5% survived to discharge. This report continues to support the use and research for advancement of these devices toward the treatment of post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock.

: Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) with multiple arterial grafting (MAG) has shown potential to improve patient survival compared to single arterial bypass grafting. Whether this superiority in survival also exists in diabetics is uncertain. We therefore aimed to compare short and long-term outcomes of MAG in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients.

Outcomes after hospital discharge in children requiring post-cardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A binational retrospective cohort study.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

Faculty of Medicine, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia; Department of Cardiac Surgery, Queensland Children's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia. Electronic address:

Objectives: To describe longer-term survival and morbidity outcomes after hospital discharge in a binational cohort of children who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after cardiac surgery.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study from the Australia and New Zealand Congenital Outcomes Registry for Surgery database. All patients younger than 18 years of age (n = 12,290) undergoing pediatric cardiac surgical procedures between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2021, who required post-cardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the same admission were included.

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery experience significant physiologic derangements that place them at risk for multiple shock phenotypes. Any combination of cardiogenic, obstructive, hemorrhagic, or vasoplegic shock occurs commonly in post-cardiotomy patients. The approach to the diagnosis and management of these shock states has many facets that are distinct compared to non-surgical cardiac intensive care unit patients.
