Brief Summary
A prospective, multi-center, open label, randomized controlled, superiority trial to compare clinical outcomes between routine distal perfusion catheter (DPC) insertion versus provisional distal perfusion catheter (DPC) insertion in the occurrence of sign or symptom of acute limb ischemia in patients undergoing mechanical circulatory support (MCS) through femoral artery approach.

Study Arms (2)
Routine distal perfusion catheter insertion group
EXPERIMENTALIn the routine DPC insertion group, DPC insertion will be performed within 1 hour from MCS or from transfer from outside hospital under MCS. Fluoroscopy-guided DPC insertion will be used. In case of fluoroscopy is not available or patient's hemodynamic condition precludes transfer of patient to catheterization laboratory, bed-side ultrasound-guided DPC will be permitted.
Provisional distal perfusion catheter insertion group
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn the provisional distal perfusion catheter insertion group, DPC insertion will be performed at the time of symptom or sign of limb ischemia. Fluoroscopy-guided DPC insertion will be used. In case of fluoroscopy is not available or patient's hemodynamic condition precludes transfer of patient to catheterization laboratory, bed-side ultrasound-guided DPC will be permitted.
Interventions
Distal perfusion catheter insertion under fluoroscopy or ultrasouond guidance in ipsilateral femoral artery to prevent limb ischemia.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients aged 19 years old
- Cardiogenic shock requiring mechanical circulatory support through femoral artery approach
- Subject who can verbally confirm understandings of risks and benefits of receiving distal perfusion catheter insertion and he/she or his/her legally authorized representative provides written informed consent prior to any study related procedure.
- Under the critically-ill clinical circumstance (unclear consciousness of patient), legally authorized representative can provide written informed consent prior to any study related procedure.
You may not qualify if:
- Apparent symptoms and sign of acute limb ischemia immediately after mechanical circulatory support insertion
- Significant coagulopathy precluding invasive procedure due to high risk of bleeding
- Pregnant women, women with potential childbearing, or lactating women
- Irreversible limb ischemia requiring interventional procedures or surgery at the time of MCS insertion
- Previous history if femoral-femoral bypass grafting or femoral-popliteal bypass grafting
- Previous history of limb amputation
- Unwilling or unable to obtain informed consent from the participant or legally authorized representative
