Prospective Randomized Multicenter Study Comparing Extracorporeal Life Support Plus Optimal Medical Care Versus Optimal Medical Care Alone in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock Undergoing Revascularization
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ECLS insertion and Revascularisation and optimal medical treatment for Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock. Completed, enrolled 420 participants across 46 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study is to examine whether treatment with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in addition to revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or alternatively coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal medical treatment is beneficial in comparison to no ECLS in patients with severe infarctrelated cardiogenic shock with respect to 30-day mortality

Timeline
Interventions
After diagnostic angiography the culprit lesion should be identified and revascularization (preferably by PCI, alternatively CABG) should be planned. ECLS insertion should be performed preferably before revascularization
