RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cardiogenic shock complicating ST elevation myocardial infarction is burdened by a high mortality. There is only limited evidence for the management except for early revascularization and the relative ineffectiveness of intra-aortic balloon pump. AIM: Our objectives were to evaluate outcome and predictors of early all-cause 30-day mortality in the setting of cardiogenic shock complicating ST elevation myocardial infarction. METHODS: From January 2009 to August 2018, all patients who presented within the first 48 hours of ST elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock and receiving invasive management were prospectively included. RESULTS: The study cohort comprised 122 consecutive patients. The mean age was 65±12 years and 74.5% of patients were males. Left ventricular failure was the most common etiology of cardiogenic shock (72.1%) and mechanical complications occurred in 8.2% of cases. Percutaneous coronary interventions were proposed for all patients and performed in a primary setting in 72.1%. A high prevalence of no reflow was noted (15.6%). Multivessel coronary artery disease was noted in 64.8% and multivessel percutaneous coronary interventions at the index procedure were performed in 22.1% of cases. Intra-aortic balloon pump was used in 17.2% of patients. The 30-day mortality was 58.2%. The only predictor of early mortality was the immediate multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (OR=4.1, 95%CI 1.1-14.5; p=0.031). CONCLUSION: Despite invasive management strategies, 30-day mortality of cardiogenic shock complicating ST elevation myocardial infarction remained as high as 58.2%. Immediate multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention was the only predictor of early mortality.

OBJECTIVES: Percutaneous procedures through femoral access in patients with inferior vena cava (IVC) filter may be at risk of complications. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of left atrial appendage (LAA) closure through femoral access in patients previously implanted with IVC filter. METHODS: From November 2011 to March 2018, a total of 5 patients with history of IVC filter implantation were referred to our center for percutaneous LAA closure, representing 3.6% of the 137 procedures performed during the study period. The IVC filter devices were placed from 2 to 26 months before the index procedure. RESULTS: LAA closure was successfully implanted in all cases using an Amulet device in 3 patients and a Watchman device in 2 patients. A femoral approach was performed in all patients using 12 or 14 Fr sheaths. Before crossing IVC filters, venographies did not detect any thrombus. All steps of IVC filter crossing were performed under fluoroscopic guidance. No immediate or late complications related to the procedure occurred after 10.1 ± 3.9 months of follow-up. CONCLUSION: LAA closure in patients with previously implanted IVC filter is safe as long as careful x-ray monitoring is observed.
