This case report describes a 69-year-old woman who developed thrombotic obstruction of a mitral bioprosthesis while receiving VA-ECMO with left ventricular venting after complex
This bibliometric study analyzed global research trends in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiogenic shock from 1990–2024. Using 701 publications from 55 countries, the
This technique article describes a novel method for converting pediatric patients from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using a single
This meta-analysis of 15 studies (2,913 patients) compares peripheral and central cannulation strategies for VA-ECMO in refractory cardiogenic shock. Peripheral access significantly reduced major
VA-ECMO provides critical cardiopulmonary support but increases left ventricular afterload, potentially leading to left ventricular distension (LVD). This literature review explores various clinical, hemodynamic,
This review explores fluid management in patients supported by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). It highlights the lack of evidence for optimal fluid strategies,
This study introduces the Korean Acute Myocarditis (KAM) score, a predictive model for assessing the likelihood of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) use in
This multicenter study analyzed 5,492 patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) treated with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Among them, 15.1% received intra-aortic balloon pump
This study investigates the clinical outcomes of two cannulation strategies—femoral artery (FA) cannulation and combined femoral and axillary artery (FA+AA) cannulation—in patients receiving veno-arterial
This retrospective study examines outcomes in patients with normal preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who required venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for postcardiotomy
This study explores the efficacy of a novel ECMELLA setup combining veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (va-ECMO) with a micro-axial flow pump in treating cardiogenic
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of left-ventricular (LV) unloading with Impella, compared to standard venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), during extracorporeal
