89 TH ANNUAL MEETING MAY 9–MAY 13, 2009BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTSRESULTS: Age was 61.3 y, 73.0% were male, ejection fraction was 44.2 ± 17.3%.ECMO implantation was per<strong>for</strong>med through thoracic (56.7%) or extrathoracic(42.3%) cannulation using femoral or axillary arterial and femoral venous cannulation.Additional IABP support was employed in 77.0%. Mean drainage loss was,3.2 and 4.4 liter 24 and 48h, respectively. 52.7% were successfully weaned fromECMO after mean 86h and 24.4% were discharged from the hospital after 41 ± 25 d.Hospital mortality was 75.6%. Neurological complications occurred in 21.3%,renal replacement therapy was indicated in 62.6%. Multivariate risk factors <strong>for</strong>hospital mortality were emergency indication (odds ratio OR 2.4), preoperativecardiogenic shock (OR 1.7), EF < 30% (OR 3.5), preoperative renal dysfunction(OR 4.2) and combined coronary and valve procedure (OR 5.7, p < 0.01 each), whileage >70 y and diabetes were none. Estimated cumulative survival was 18.1 ± 2.9%after 6 months, 16.7 ± 2.7% after one, 15.5 ± 1.6. and 16.1 ± 3.3% after five years. Riskfactors <strong>for</strong> late death were age, combined CABG + MV surgery and diabetes.CONCLUSION: Temporary ECMO support it is an acceptable option <strong>for</strong> patientswith PCS that otherwise would die and justified by the good long-term survival ofhospital survivors. However, because of high morbidity and mortality individualECMO indication has to be made on the specific risk profile.168
