Abstract Background Modern left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have evolved to become standard of care in severe heart failure (HF) patients. Right HF (RHF) is a major complication responsible for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgical patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at increased risk for hemorrhage due to necessary anticoagulation, in-situ cannulas, and disturbed hemostasis. We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study..

Abstract Background To inform future research and practice, we aimed to investigate the outcomes of patients who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is a form of temporary mechanical circulatory support and simultaneous extracorporeal gas exchange for acute cardiorespiratory failure, including refractory cardiogenic shock (CS) and..
