Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate left ventricular (LV) unloading strategies in patients supported with peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). A retrospective review was conducted of all consecutive patients requiring VA-ECMO support… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate if mechanical left ventricular unloading could reduce mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled… read more here.

Abstract: Background: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) using venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a promising strategy for refractory cardiac arrest. However, the role of left ventricular (LV) unloading during ECPR remains uncertain. Methods: We queried the… read more here.

Abstract: Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly used to treat cardiogenic shock. However, VA-ECMO might hamper myocardial recovery. The Impella unloads the left ventricle. The aim of this study was to evaluate if left… read more here.

Abstract: Background Insufficient ventricular unloading is a serious complication during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) that has a crucial impact on patient outcomes. The existing conservative treatment options are limited, while mechanical decompression techniques are challenging… read more here.
