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..
Lee masAbstract The concept of left ventricular unloading has its foundation in heart physiology. In fact, the left ventricular mechanics and energetics represent the cornerstone of this approach. The novel sophisticated..
Lee masAbstract 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..
