Inflammatory Cytokines as Early Predictors of Weaning Failure From Extracorporeal Life Support
Levels of IL‐8 and IL‐6 and their dynamics are reliable early predictors of ECLS weaning failure. ABSTRACT Background Weaning from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory shock still remains a complex decision. Despite considerable advances in ECLS management, reliable biomarkers to predict weaning success are still not available.

An LVAD patient with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) developed right heart failure and multi‐organ dysfunction (MOD). tRVAD support caused LV overload and pulmonary edema. Impella 5.5 implantation successfully unloaded the LV and stabilized the patient, enabling durable RVAD implantation with surgical aortic valve replacement.

Multicenter real‐world cohort (n = 327) comparing LVADs: HeartMate 3 (HM3), HeartMate II (HMII), and HeartWare (HVAD). HM3 showed superior long‐term survival versus legacy devices, driven by fewer hemocompatibility‐related adverse events, especially pump thrombosis and ischemic stroke, while major bleeding was similar across devices.

We report an insight from the PELS‐1– a multicentre, international registry focusing on postocardiotomy extracorporeal support use between 2000 and 2020. We focused on 24/2163 (1.1%) patients requiring V‐V ECMO after cardiac surgery. Mortality was high, with 21.7% of patients discharged alive and an overall 1‐year survival probability of 12.5 ...
