Abstract
Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is associated with a high rate of thrombotic complications which are prevented using systemic anticoagulation and surface coating technologies. Heparin (Heparin-coating) and phosphorylcholin (PPC-coating) coatings are widely used in clinical practice, but little is known about their effectiveness in VA-ECMO setting.
Objectives: To compare the effects of heparin-coating and PPC-coating on thrombotic complications, bleeding, blood trauma, inflammation, thrombi composition and mortality.
Methods: A retrospective multicenter clinical cohort was studied for clinical endpoints, and a prospective histologic cohort was investigated for thrombi composition. The clinical cohort included adult patients supported by VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock, without any constitutive or acquired hemostasis disease disorder, from January 2013 to December 2020. Thrombi retrieved from circuit junctions were underwent histochemical and immunochemical analysis for erythrocytes, Von Willebrand factor (VWF), platelets, fibrinogen, and neutrophil extra-cellular traps contents. The clinical cohort was compared using a propensity score overlap weighting (PSOW). A P-value <0.05 was significant.
Results: Compared with PPC-coating, Heparin-coating was associated with a lower incidence of thrombotic complications before and after PSOW [HR=0.67 (95%CI, 0.48; 0.93), P-value =0.015], a lower decrease in hemoglobin, but a greater decrease in platelet count. In the histologic analysis, PPC-coating resulted in a greater content of VWF. The other endpoints were similar among groups.
Conclusion: Compared with PPC-coating, heparin-coating is associated with fewer thrombotic complications during VA-ECMO support. Kinetics of platelet count and hemoglobin, thrombi contents differed according to coating types.
