We describe two cases of profound cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (CSAMI) requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) allowing complex, high-risk, and staged ...

IntroductionMassive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening complication of major surgery with a mortality rate of up to 50%. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is primarily used for respiratory and circulatory support.

Fungal infections and antifungal prophylaxis in pediatric cardiac extracorporeal life support [PDF]
ObjectiveInfections acquired by children during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) increase mortality. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic fluconazole on the incidence of fungal infections and to assess whether hospital ...

Secondary sclerosing cholangitis in patients suffering cardiogenic shock
Abstract Aims Cardiogenic shock (CS) patients suffer from severe organ hypoperfusion, yet the incidence of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill patients (SSC‐CIP) in CS is poorly described. Given the limited evidence and severity of this syndrome, we aimed to further investigate SSC‐CIP in the context of CS.

Background Clinical outcomes of acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock remain poor with high in‐hospital mortality. Veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) has been widely used for patients with acute myocardial ...

Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: an algorithm based ECMO program can improve clinical outcomes. [PDF]
Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in our institution resulted in near total mortality prior to the establishment of an algorithm-based program in July 2010. We hypothesized that an algorithm based ECMO program improves the outcome of

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices play a crucial role in improving survival for patients with hemodynamic instability by providing cardiac assistance, and may serve as either a bridge to recovery or destination therapy.

Current challenges in lung transplantation
Abstract Lung transplantation remains the definitive treatment for end‐stage lung disease, but several critical challenges persist. Key issues include the limited availability of donor organs, ongoing debates over optimal preservation methods, and the controversy surrounding the best intraoperative support systems.

Axillary Approach for Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (ECMO) is a form of mechanical circulatory support that is used in patients with severe dysfunction of heart or lung or both. Depending on whether it is venovenous or venoarterial support, it can temporarily substitute for circulation and ventilation while the underlying cause is addressed.
