Abstract

Microaxial LVADs are increasingly used for cardiogenic shock treatment. We compared the short-term outcome of patients supported with different microaxial devices for cardiogenic shock. A retrospective propensity score-adjusted analysis was performed in cardiogenic shock patients treated with either the Impella CP (n=64) or the Impella 5.0/5.5 (n=62) at two tertiary cardiac care centers between 1/14 and 12/19. Patients in the Impella CP group were significantly older (69.6±10.7 vs 58.7±11.9 years, p=0.001), more likely in an INTERMACS level 1 (76.6% vs 50%, p=0.003) and post CPR (36% vs 13%, p=0.006). The unadjusted 30-day survival was significantly higher in Impella 5.0/5.5 group (58% vs 36%, p=0.021, odds ratio (OR) for 30-day survival on Impella 5.0/5.5 was 3.68 (95% CI [1.46-9.90], p=0.0072). After adjustment, the 30-day survival was similar for both devices (OR 1.23, 95% CI [0.34-4.18], p=0.744). Lactate levels above 8 mmol/L and preoperative CPR were associated with a significant mortality increase in both cohorts (OR=10.7, 95% CI [3.45-47.34], p<0.001; OR=13.2, 95% CI [4.28-57.89], p<0.001, respectively). Both Impella devices offer a similar effect with regards to survival in cardiogenic shock patients. Preoperative CPR or lactate levels exceeding 8 mmol/L immediately before implantation have a poor prognosis on Impella CP and Impella 5.0/5.5.
