Different applications of cardiopulmonary bypass systems based on common membrane oxygenator in cardiovascular surgery

Abstract

Aim – to introduce possible ways of using the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) systems based on the standard oxygenator. 

Introducion. In аpart from classic use of heart-lung machine for extracorporeal circulation during open cardiosurgical operation we also use CPB system in three following ways: as a part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in high risk patients (including those with contraindications for CABG) as some sort of safety net (some of them with modified mini-circuit system); and also for operations on aortic arch, in which cases we use modified double circuit with two independent oxygenators, developed in our hospital.
In this article we present our clinical experience and outcomes for this three groups of patients. 

Material and methods. We retrospectively analysed cases of 95 patients (2011–2016). 23 of them underwent open cardiosurgical interventions in 2012–2016 and suffered cardiac arrest in postoperative period, required using of cardiopulmonary bypass due to inefficiency of standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation; 16 patients underwent PCI with CPB due to high risk of intervention and/or impossibility to perform open CABG; 56 patients with operations on aortic arch required use of cardiopulmonary bypass with our modified double circuit, which allows independent perfusion of body and brain.

Results. In all patients we used centrifugal pump (MAQUET RotaFlow) and standard oxygenator (Terumo Capiox RX 25 или Medtronic Affinity NT) with usual or modified (mini) circuits. Depending on circumstances, central cannulation (ascending aorta – right atrium) or peripheral (femoral vein and arteria) were performed. The duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation before CPB was 26 min (20–30 min) for survivors and 33 (28–43) min for those who died. The duration of CPB was 119 min (195–327) and 290 min (280–442) respectively. After CPB was started, 16 patients were transferred to the catheterization laboratory for urgent coronary catheterization, 4 of them underwent percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCI), 5 required redo coronary artery bypass grafting. Five patients were placed on prolonged extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), three of them were able to be weaned off ECMO in near future. Overall survival was 39.1% (9 persons) compared to predicted 100% mortality rate.
In 16 patients with PCI performed on CPB the duration of CPB was 43±14.6 min. All interventions
were performed successfully, duration of artificial pulmonary ventilation (APV) in ICU was 5.4±
3.9, troponin level on 12th hour after surgery was 239.2±219.1 ng/ml. There were no myocardial infarctions or cerebral accidents during or after PCI. Half year survival rate was 100%.
In group of patients underwent operation on aortic arch with our modified method of CPB using double circuit the duration of CPB was 177.5 (92–312) min, time of selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) was 145 (78–220) min, intraoperative blood loss was 626.5 (300–3200) ml, duration of APV in ICU was 8.9 (3.6–106.8). Survival rate was 100%. Thanks to this method our surgeons for the first time in history were able to use strategy of open distal anastomosis simultaneously with normothermic SACP.

Conclusion. Rational, individual and creative approach to use of standard CPB systems allows to perform circulatory support in different clinical situations quickly and efficiently. In certain circumstances such systems can be used as alternative to ECMO.
