Abstract To analyze the risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). We performed a retrospective analysis of VA ECMO patients..

Abstract Refractory cardiogenic shock (CS) often requires veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) to sustain end-organ perfusion. Current animal models result in heterogenous cardiac injury and frequent episodes of refractory ventricular..

Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was frequently used to treat patients with severe coronavirus disease‑2019 (COVID‑19)‑associated acute respiratory distress (ARDS) during the initial outbreak. Care of COVID‑19 patients evolved..
