Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for post-aortic surgery:A retrospective study in a single center
Objective To describe the outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)for patients after aortic surgery and to summarize the experience.Methods The clinical data of patients who received ECMO support after aortic surgery in Fuwai Hospital from 2009 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients who received an aortic dissection surgery were allocated into a dissection group,and the other patients were allocated into a non-dissection group.The in-hospital and follow-up survival rates were compared between the two groups,and the causes of death were analyzed.Results A total of 22 patients were enrolled,including 17 patients in the dissection group[13 males and 4 females,with a median age of 54(46,61)years]and 5 patients in the non-dissection group[3 males and 2 females,with a median age of 51(41,65)years].There was no statistical difference in the age and gender between the two groups(P＞0.05).The in-hospital survival rate(11.8％vs.100.0％,P=0.001)and follow-up survival rate(11.8％vs.80.0％,P=0.009)of the patients in the dissection group were significantly lower than those in the non-dissection group.The causes of death in the dissection group included massive bleeding and disseminated intravascular coagulation(3 patients),ventricular thrombosis(1 patient),irreversible brain injury(2 patients),visceral malperfusion syndrome(4 patients)and irreversible heart failure(5 patients).Conclusion ECMO after aortic dissection surgery is associated with high mortality,which is related to the pathological features of aortic dissection and severely disrupted coagulation system after the surgery.For these patients,strict indication selection and optimal management strategy are important.
