Severe Acute Cardiogenic Shock
• Associated w excessive mortality
• If untreated will lead to imminent death
• Etiology: Post-cardiotomy, AMI, Myocarditis, Acute on chronic cardiomyopathy, Malignant arrhythmia
• Goals: Must rapidly stabilize and “rest” heart
• Treatment: Mechanical support + OMM
• Endpoint: Recovery• Definitive surgical therapy should not be offered in the acute setting

When and How to Initiate MCS
![Page 5: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Simple Rules for Initiating MCS
• Pt continues to deteriorate despite increasing drugs
• Initiate before the patient absolutely needs it
• If you put an unsalvageable patient on MCS, they remain unsalvageable
• Its not the devices that are bad, it’s the patients who are sick
![Page 6: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hard Parameters for Initiating MCS• Already on inotropes and IABP
Increasing support level required
• Hemodynamics – must maintain– CI >2.0 – BP mean >60mmHg – SBP> 85 mmg– CVP <15 – PCWP <20– End organ function : renal, hepatic, pulmonary, cerebral
• Balance– Hemodynamics not attainable– Increasing inotrope requirements especially vasoconstrictors
![Page 7: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MCS Options
• Partial Circulatory Support
• Full Circulatory Support
• Full Cardiopulmonary Support
![Page 8: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Partial Circulatory Support
• IABP
• Impella/Abiomed
• Subclavain-IABP
![Page 9: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Impella Abiomed
• Micro rotary pump– 2.5
• Cath lab, percutaneous insertion
– 5.0 (larger, more flow)• Graft or cutdown
• Advantages– Easy to insert– Active de-compression of LV
– Less invasive• Less support than rotary pumps
![Page 10: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Impella Abiomed
![Page 11: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Subclavian Intra-Aortic Balloon• Intra-aortic balloon pumps
(IABPs) are traditionally inserted through the femoral artery, limiting the patient’s mobility.
• Advantages of SC: • PVD less of an issue, • minimally invasive support, • ambulatory
• Limitations: • Time (40-1 hr), peri-stable, • Connective tissue disease
![Page 12: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Subclavian Intra-Aortic Balloon• The graft is then tunneled into the
pocket.
• The guidewire is though the skin and then into the graft and then through the subclavian artery into the aorta.
• Under fluoroscopic guidance, the balloon wire is positioned in the descending thoracic aorta.
• The balloon is inserted and screened into an appropriate position.
• The wound over the Gore-Tex graft is closed in layers.

Case• HD#6
– Weaned from ECMO after 2 day wean• Wean flows
– IABP, inotropy
• HD#10– Extubated
• HD#12– Off inotropy
• HD#19– Discharged to rehab
![Page 44: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Support initiated – then what?• Maintenance:
– Anticoagulation• Initial – ECMO ACT 150 – 180, VAD none• After bleeding stops – 150 – 180 sec
– Minimize inotropic support– Evaluate cerebral and other end organ function– IABP for some pulsatility
• End goals:– Recovery and wean– Bridge to longer term solution
• Definitive surgical treatment is not appropriate in acute setting
![Page 45: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Weaning / recovery
• Native ejections with decreasing support• Allow time to re-equilibrate• Continuous SG useful for LVAD (even for RVAD as it
give MVO2 saturation)• ECHO• Minimize anesthesia• Bad sign if escalating inotropes or requiring IABP
![Page 46: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Outcomes
• Difficult to characterize given heterogeneity of patients• Recovery depends on ability to repair myocardium• Bridge to device depends on:
– Earlier initiation of mechanical therapy– Single vs bi-VAD support– Liver function marker for survival– Respiratory status– Neuro
• Reports vary from 30 – 80% success rates
![Page 47: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Summary
• Paradigm shift– Initiate earlier–Better less inflammatory technology–Easier to initiate–Better Outcomes
![Page 48: Mechanical Support for Acute Cardiogenic Shock Mark J. Russo, MD, MS Assistant Professor of Surgery Section of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551695d5550346f6208b4883/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Take Home Points
• MCS should be initiated early
• Temporary support, not implantable device
• Definitive therapy should only be offered after patient demonstrates measurable recovery
