Trial summary

Peripheral VA-ECMO is widely used in refractory cardiogenic shock patients as a salvage therapy. In most cases, the femoral artery and vein are used for the vascular approach. Large cannulas are usually used for proper oxygenation, which may cause peripheral limb ischemia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Of Conservative Versus Early Distal Perfusion Strategy to Prevent Acute Limb Ischemia in Peripheral Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patients

Peripheral VA-ECMO is widely used in refractory cardiogenic shock patients as a salvage therapy. In most cases, the femoral artery and vein are used for the vascular approach. Large cannulas are usually used for proper oxygenation, which may cause peripheral limb ischemia. Distal perfusion catheterization (DPC) at the ipsilateral arterial cannula site is recommended to prevent distal limb ischemia. However, there is no consensus on the proper timing of DPC and additional invasive procedures may cause complications during VA-ECMO support. In this analysis, the investigators compare the clinical outcomes of distal limb ischemia complications between the conventional DPC group (DPC at the time of limb ischemia sign) and the preemptive DPC group (DPC at the time of VA-ECMO application).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Distal perfusion catheterizationProcedure or surgery

    Distal perfusion catheterization will be done within 1 hour after the VA-ECMO application in the preemptive DPC group. The conventional DPC group will undergo distal perfusion catheterization at the time of limb ischemia sign.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Limb ischemia

    Limb ischemia requiring surgical/percutaneous procedure or resulting necrosis or neurologic sequelae in the distal limb during hospitalization

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of discharge or assessed up to 90 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. All-cause mortality

    All-cause of death

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 12 months

  2. Successful ECMO weaning

    Having ECMO removed and not requiring further mechanical support because of recurring cardiogenic shock over the following 30 days

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of discharge or assessed up to 90 days

  3. ECMO related complications

    Bleeding, systemic thromboembolism, etc.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of ECMO removal, assesed up to 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Distal perfusion catheterization in people with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Complication, run by Min-Seok Kim at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Min-Seok Kim, PhD (82-2-3010-3948, msk@amc.seoul.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Limb ischemia (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of discharge or assessed up to 90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2023.
