Extracorporeal Life Support in Cardiogenic Shock

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Cardiogenic Shock
Registration Number
NCT03637205
Lead Sponsor
Helios Health Institute GmbH
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to examine whether treatment with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in addition to revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or alternatively coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal medical treatment is beneficial in comparison to no ECLS in patients with severe infarctrelated cardiogenic shock with respect to 30-day mortality

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
30-day mortality30 days

30-day all-cause death after randomization according to the intention-to-treat principle

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to hemodynamic stabilization0 to 10 days
Length of ICU stay0 to 11 days
Serial creatinine-level and creatinine-clearance0 to 10 days from time of randomization until stabilization

Creatinine-clearance (Cockcroft-Gault-Formula)

Serial SAPS-II score0 to 11 days
Status of Quality of life measured by EQ VAS12 months

The EuroQol Group visual analogue scale (EQ VAS) records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale from 0 to 100, where the maximum 100 is labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and the minimum 0 is labelled 'The worst health you can imagine'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflect the patient's own judgement.

Length of hospital stay0 to 14 days
Acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy0 to 14 days
Hospitalization for heart failure6 and 12 months
Time to death within 6 and 12 months follow-up6 and 12 months
Length of mechanical ventilation0 to 10 days
Cerebral performance category (CPC)30 days, 6 and 12 months
Recurrent infarction30 days, 6 and 12 months
Duration of catecholamine therapy0 to 10 days
Cardiovascular mortality6 and 12 months
Repeat revascularization (PCI or CABG)30 days, 6 and 12 months
Status of Quality of life measured by EQ-5D-5L descriptive system12 months

The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems expressed by 1-digit-numbers ranging from 1 (extreme problems) to 5 (no problems). The toal score ranges from 0-15 where 15 is the worst score.

Mean and area under the curve of arterial lactate0 to 14 days
