Left Ventricular Unloading With Surgically Implanted Microaxial Flow Pump in Patients on Venoarterial Membrane Oxygenation

Abstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is applied for the treatment of cardiogenic shock. Concomitant left ventricular unloading (LVU) with a microaxial flow pump (mAFP) enables myocardial and pulmonary recovery..

Protracted aortic valve closure during peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal life support: is intra-aortic balloon pump an effective solution?

Abstract Background: Left ventricular (LV) afterload increase with protracted aortic valve (AV) closure may represent a complication of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). The aim of the present study..
