Abstract Data on perioperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in liver transplantation (LT) are scarce. ECMO has been used preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively for a variety of indications at our center...
Read MoreAbstract Endothelial injury is usually considered as a major com-ponent of the systemic inflammatory response observed during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygena-tion (VA-ECMO) support [1, 2]. Yet, few data are avail-able..
