Routine Microaxial Heart Pump Support and Protocolized Pulmonary Artery Catheter Monitoring Versus Standard Care in Heart Attack-Related Cardiogenic Shock (DOUBLE-SHOCK)
Routine Microaxial Flow Pump Versus Radial Access Revascularization Without Routine Microaxial Flow Pump in Infarct-Related Cardiogenic Shock & Routine Pulmonary Artery Catheterization-based Monitoring With Protocolized Hemodynamic Optimization Versus Simplified Monitoring Without Protocolized Hemodynamic Optimization in Infarct-Related Cardiogenic Shock
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which treatment strategies improve survival in adult patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the immediate use of a left-sided microaxial flow pump (Impella) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improve survival compared to initial medical therapy alone?
- Does protocol-based hemodynamic monitoring and optimization using a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) improve survival compared to conventional intensive care monitoring?
Researchers will compare four treatment combinations to see if mechanical circulatory support and/or advanced hemodynamic monitoring reduce mortality in AMI-CS patients:
- Microaxial flow pump + pulmonary artery catheter
- Microaxial flow pump + conventional monitoring
- Medical therapy alone + pulmonary artery catheter
- Medical therapy alone + conventional monitoring
Participants will:
- Undergo immediate coronary angiography and PCI upon hospital admission Be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups
- Receive either immediate implantation of a microaxial flow pump or initial medical therapy with vasoactive agents following PCI
- Be monitored either via pulmonary artery catheter with protocol-based hemodynamic optimization or via conventional intensive care monitoring
- Be followed up at 30 days, 6 months and 12 monthsafter Randomization, with planned annual follow-up assessments for up to 10 years

Experimental: Microaxial flow pump + pulmonary artery catheter
Participants in this arm undergo immediate implantation of a left-sided microaxial flow pump (Impella) via the femoral artery following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The device is used to unload the left ventricle and augment cardiac output until hemodynamic stabilization is achieved.
In addition, participants receive a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) inserted via a central venous access (jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein) for continuous hemodynamic monitoring and protocol-based optimization of cardiovascular function.
Target parameters include, e.g., cardiac output, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance.
|
Percutaneous implantation of a left-sided microaxial flow pump via the femoral artery following PCI.
The device actively unloads the left ventricle by aspirating blood from the left ventricle and ejecting it into the ascending aorta, thereby augmenting cardiac output.
Implantation occurs immediately after PCI.
Insertion of a pulmonary artery catheter via central venous access (jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein) for continuous hemodynamic monitoring and protocol-based optimization of cardiovascular function.

Quality of life (EuroQol 5D-5L)
Time Frame: 6month, 12 month after randomisation
|
Quality of life measured by the EuroQol 5D-5L questionnaire.
The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression.
Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems.
The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions.
This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension.
The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.
