Doctors recommend venoarterial ECMO for problems with the heart and lungs and venovenous ECMO for lung problems only. Perfusionists primarily support people during open heart surgery or when ECMO ...

Use of left atrial venoarterial cannulation during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation—a technique known as LAVA ECMO—appears to be a safe and feasible means of support for patients with cardiogenic ...

Jentzer and colleagues identified 8,619 patients with cardiogenic shock who received venoarterial ECMO, excluding those cannulated following an operation (median age, 57 years; 33.5% women).

A 57-year-old man with nonischemic cardiomyopathy who was dependent on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and was not a candidate for standard therapeutics, including a ...

61 Alternatives to venovenous ECMO include venoarterial ECMO, in which the pump returns blood to the arterial system, thus providing hemodynamic support when needed, in addition to some ...

The steep increase in the use of mechanical circulatory support with [venoarterial] ECMO, maybe also with Impella devices, is not justified. Maybe it is too simplistic that a machine being able to ...

The blood will then reenter your body through the second tube. Venoarterial ECMO: This type of ECMO allows most of your blood to bypass your lungs and heart completely. The blood flows out of a ...

You should read both the consultation document and the accompanying evidence (see the committee papers) before making any comments. We have a new way of making ...

To compare left carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and biochemical markers for atherogenesis in neonatal venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) survivors with normal controls ...

Venoarterial ECMO provides gas exchange and circulatory support by draining the blood from a central vein, pumping it through a membrane lung, and returning it through an artery, Yannopoulos ...

ECMO stands for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. An ECMO machine takes blood from your veins, pumps it outside the body (extracorporeal), removes carbon dioxide, adds oxygen (oxygenation), and ...
