Originally intended for life-saving salvage therapy, the use of temporary mechanical
circulatory support (MCS) devices has become increasingly widespread in a variety of …

Objectives: To map the scope, methodological rigor, quality, and direction of associations
between social determinants of health (SDoH) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation …

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

Aims Shock severity predicts mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). We evaluated
the association between pre-cannulation Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and …

Purpose Percutaneous cannulation is increasingly used for veno-arterial extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). However, there is limited evidence about the benefit of …

Background Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) therapy is increasingly used for cardiac and
respiratory support postcardiotomy, refractory cardiogenic shock and cardiopulmonary …

Although mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has been used to support patients with
cardiogenic shock (CS) for many years, recent advances in device technology, together with …

Background Postcardiotomy venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA
ECMO) is characterized by discrepancies between weaning and survival-to-discharge rates …

Purpose This scoping review aims to identify and describe knowledge gaps and research
priorities in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Methods An …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a life-saving technique for patients with
severe respiratory and cardiac diseases, is being increasingly utilized worldwide …
