Mechanical circulatory support in patients with cardiogenic shock not secondary to cardiotomy: a network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: To compare the efficacy and safety of different mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in CS. A total of 24 studies (7 randomized controlled trials-RCTs-and 17 non-RCTs) involving 11,117 patients were entered in a Bayesian network meta-analysis. The primary endpoint was 30-day mortality. Secondary endpoints were stroke and bleeding (requiring transfusion and/or intracranial and/or fatal). Compared with no MCS, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) reduced 30-day mortality when used both alone (OR 0.37, 95% CrI 0.15-0.90) and together with the micro-axial pump Impella (OR 0.13, 95% CrI 0.02-0.80) or intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) (OR 0.19, 95% CrI 0.05-0.63), although the relevant articles were affected by significant publication bias. Consistent results were obtained in a sen
