Background: This study aimed to identify the determinant factors of survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and refractory cardiogenic shock (RCS) who underwent veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Methods: Sixty-nine consecutive patients with AMI-related RCS were enrolled in the study. They were treated with ECMO and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The clinical scores and coronary angiography (CAG) factors related to 100-day survival were evaluated.
Results: Thirty patients (43.5%) survived for more than 100 days. The CAG showed that 19 (27.5%) patients had left main disease (LMD). There were 17 (24.6%), 27 (39.1%), and 25 (36.3%) patients with one-vessel, two-vessel, and three-vessel disease, respectively. There were significant differences between the survivors and non-survivors in the simplified acute physiology score II (SAPSII) (65.4±17.2 . 83.1±13.0, P<0.001), sepsis-related organ failure assessment score (SOFA) (10.4±2.7 . 12.3±2.5, P=0.004), survival after veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation score (SAVE) (-4.4±4.3 . -8.4±3.1, P<0.001), CPR time (15.8±16.6 . 30.0±29.5, P=0.048), LMD [4 (13.3%) . 15 (38.5%), P=0.029], and number of coronary artery disease (NCAD) (P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NCAD (OR 3.788, P=0.008) was one of the independent predictors of mortality. The ROC analysis showed that SAPSII (AUC 0.786, P<0.001), SOFA (AUC 0.715, P=0.002), and SAVE (AUC 0.766, P<0.001) equally predict mortality. The combined NCAD parameters more accurately predicted mortality and differences in the AUC values (d-AUC) between SAPSII plus NCAD . SAPSII (d-AUC 0.073, z=2.256, P=0.024), SOFA plus NCAD . SOFA (d-AUC 0.058, z=2.773, P=0.006), and SAVE plus NCAD . SAVE (d-AUC 0.036, z=2.332, P=0.020).
Conclusions: The SAPSII, SOFA, and SAVE scores predict the prognosis of ECMO-treated AMI patients with RCS. The CAG findings reinforce the predictive power of each score.

Introduction: Application of extracorporeal life support during cardiac arrest is termed extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR). Mortality in pediatric patients undergoing eCPR for noncardiac conditions remains high and factors influencing survival are not well-defined. We hypothesized that eCPR survivors are more likely to have less severe electrolyte derangements prior to cannulation than nonsurvivors.

Introduction: Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, is a growing cause of poisoning fatalities in the United States. As it takes several hours following ingestion for amlodipine peak plasma concentrations to be reached, the severity of poisoning may not be immediately apparent to clinicians. This study aimed to stratify reported amlodipine exposure doses with the severity of clinical outcomes.

Background: Advanced heart failure and transplant (AHFTC) teams are crucial in the management of patients in cardiogenic shock. We sought to explore the impact of AHFTC physicians on outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support.
Aim: To determine whether outcomes differ in the care of ECMO patients when AHFTC physicians serve in a primary consultative role.

Background: Acute pulmonary thromboembolism is a complication of venous thrombosis. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), an effective rescue measure for rapid hemodynamic recovery, can be used in patients for whom thrombolysis therapy has failed.
Case Summary: This case report describes an extreme rescue process for a patient with a preset inferior vena cava (IVC) filter in a relatively economically underdeveloped area with an insufficient supply of consumables.
