Abstract Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) in patients (pts) with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the strongest predictor of hospital mortality. Radial in contrast to femoral access in STEMI pts might be associated with a lower mortality. However, little is known on radial access in CS pts. Methods We retrospectively analysed all STEMI pts between 2009 and 2015 who sufferend from CS and who were included into the ALKK PCI registry. Pts treated via a radial access were compared to those treated via a femoral access. Results Between 2009 and 2015 23796 STEMI pts were included in the registry. 1763 (7.4%) of pts were in CS. The proportion of radial access was 6.6%: in 2009 4.0% and in 2015 19.6%, p for trend <0.0001 with a strong variation between the participating centres (0% to 37%). Conclusions Radial access was only used in 6.6% of STEMI pts presenting in CS. However, a significant increase in the use of radial access was observed over time (2009: 4%, 2015 19.6%, p<0.001), with a great variance in its use between the participating hospitals. Despite similar pt characteristics the difference in hospital mortality according to access site has to be interpretated with caution. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background As a mechanical circulatory assistance, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been widely used for cardiogenic shock (CS), although recent clinical trials questioned its impact on acute myocardial infarction patients, nothing is hitherto known on the contribution of IABP to CS patients after anterior wall infarction. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of IABP therapy in patients presenting with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by CS.Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 215 consecutive patients presenting with CS after STEMI in the anterior wall between January 2006 and August 2017, including 125 patients in the IABP group and 90 patients in the control group.Results At 30 days, 60 (48.0%) patients in the IABP group and 58 (64.4%) patients in the control group had died (P=0.017). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed the cumulative survival rate in the IABP group was consistently higher than control group (P=0.009 by Log-Rank test). Nevertheless, IABP increased the occurrence of thrombocytopenia (21.6% vs. 2.2%, P<0.001) and lower limb complications (20.0% vs. 2.2%, P<0.001) at the same time. Subgroup analyses by Cox regression showed a better trend of prognoses in patients aged less than 60 years old (HR=0.49, 95% CI=0.26-0.91, P=0.025), male (HR=0.53, 95% CI=0.34-0.83, P=0.005), no history of hypertension (HR=0.47, 95% CI=0.26-0.87, P=0.017) and systolic blood pressure less than 80 mm Hg (HR=0.40, 95% CI=0.22-0.73, P=0.009). At 12-month follow-up, all-cause mortality in the IABP group was obviously lower than the control group (52.5% vs. 74.1%, P=0.002), there were no significant differences in other adverse cardiovascular events (P=1.000).Conclusions The combination of IABP use is associated with reduced 30-day and 12-month mortality in patients with anterior STEMI complicated by CS, though thrombocytopenia and lower limb complications are frequently observed.
