Purpose Cardiogenic shock is associated with high mortality. In refractory shock, it is unclear
if mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices improve survival. We conducted a network …

OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is the implementation
of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) during refractory cardiac …

BACKGROUND: Although venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO)
is beneficial for the treatment of profound cardiogenic shock, peripheral VA-ECMO …

Aims Few studies have reported data on the optimal timing of left ventricular (LV) unloading
during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) for cardiac arrest or …

Background: The benefit of prophylactic left ventricular (LV) unloading during venoarterial
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in selected patients at risk of developing …

Objectives To synthesize quantitative research findings on the prevalence and risk factors
for in-hospital mortality of patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation …

This review describes the intricate physiological interactions involved in the application of
extracorporeal therapy, with specific focus on cardiopulmonary relationships. Extracorporeal …

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare but severe complication of myocardial infarction
(MI). Temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) can be used as a bridge to VSD …

Mechanical circulatory support has proven effective in managing postcardiotomy
cardiogenic shock by stabilizing patients' hemodynamics and ensuring adequate organ …

Cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a critical disease with high
