Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly used for
postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock, but without a concomitant reduction in observed in …

Background Cerebral perfusion may change depending on arterial cannulation site and may
affect the incidence of neurologic adverse events in post-cardiotomy extracorporeal life …

The efficacy and safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support during
transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains unknown. We conducted a meta …

The outcomes of patients with PCS and following ECMO therapy are associated with several
preoperative risk factors. Our aim was to compare clinical presentation, ECMO-related data …

As of today postcardiotomy venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (PC VA
ECMO) in adult patients has been used only rarely, while recent data have shown a …

Objective Patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are often complex and
have a high mortality rate. Currently, risk assessment and treatment decisions for patients …

Abstract Introduction For the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to continue to perform
complex cardiothoracic surgery, there must be an established pathway for providing …

Introduction: Findings of inadequate tissue perfusion might be used to predict the risk of
mortality. In this study, we evaluated the effects of lactate and lactate clearance on mortality …

The mortality rate after the development of postinfarction ventricular septal defect remains
high despite progress in pharmacologic therapy, invasive cardiology, and surgical …

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a vital mechanical
circulatory support used with increasing frequency in complex congenital cardiac surgeries …
