Abstract

Background: Despite improvements in percutaneous coronary artery techniques (PCI) and equipment, traditional PCI alone is still insufficient to manage complex and high-risk lesions due to increased risk of major adverse cardiac events, including myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, and death. In recent years, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during PCI has emerged as a potential solution to manage complex and high-risk lesions.

Objective: To examine the in-hospital and 1-year clinical outcomes in patients who underwent complex, high-risk PCI with VA-ECMO support.                  

Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent elective complex and high-risk PCI with hemodynamic support provided by VA-ECMO from 2018 to 2022. Rates of VA-ECMO related complications, complications related to PCI, death, and MACCE events during hospitalization and after one-year follow-up were analyzed.
