Purpose Veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is increasingly used in patients
during cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock, to support both cardiac and pulmonary …

Aims Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has shown encouraging survival rates in patients
with in-hospital cardiac arrest; however, its routine use is still controversial. We compared …

Background Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is increasingly used in the treatment of
infarct-related cardiogenic shock despite a lack of evidence regarding its effect on mortality …

Background Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has been utilized as a rescue strategy for
patients with cardiac arrest unresponsive to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation …

Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation displays low survival rate after out-of-hospital
cardiac arrest (OHCA). Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) could be suggested as a rescue …

Background The benefit of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in highly selective patients
with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is supported by previous studies; however, it is …

BACKGROUND: Few data are available on the clinical outcome of patients with acute
coronary syndrome (ACS) complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest who …

Background Treatment with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) fell short of improving myocardial recovery …

AIM: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for in-
hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients has been assigned a low-grade recommendation in …

Background The role of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in primary cardiogenic shock
(PCS) is well established. In this study, we evaluated the impact of etiology on outcomes …
