Left ventricular decompression in paediatric veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support: Reviewing the evidence [PDF]

ESC Heart Failure
Veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA ECLS) is crucial for neonatal and paediatric patients with severe circulatory collapse but may cause left ventricular (LV) overload, affecting myocardial recovery and causing complications.

Right ventricular mechanical support as a bridge to lung transplantation: A literature review of current practices [PDF]

JHLT Open
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) serves as a bridge to lung transplantation (BTT) for patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) or right ventricular (RV) dysfunction/failure (RVD/RVF). Proper assessment and management of RV function in BTT patients
