We reviewed reported survival and neurological outcomes, and predictors of these
outcomes for pediatric cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and …

This paper reviews the basic fluid dynamics underlying extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO) cannula design. General cannula features and their effect on flow are …

Purpose This study was designed to examine the long-term survival of patients who survived
to be weaned from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) and to …

Background Owing to persisting donor shortages, the use of “marginal hearts” has
increased. Because patients who receive a marginal heart may require hemodynamic …

OBJECTIVES: We reviewed the use of pediatric mechanical circulatory support before and
after transplantation to examinine current results and future strategies. METHODS: All …

We aimed to describe worldwide DCD HT experience in children using the International
Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation Registry. The Registry was queried for primary …

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a commonly used form of mechanical circulatory
support in children with congenital or acquired heart disease and cardiac failure refractory to …

OBJECTIVE Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) may be used for severe graft failure after
heart transplantation, but the degree to which it is lifesaving is uncertain. METHODS …

BACKGROUND Previous reports of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) in pediatric heart
transplant (HT) recipients are limited to descriptive series of children who required …

VIS, a quantitative index of pressor support, has been shown to be a predictor of morbidity
and mortality in infants younger than six months who underwent CPB. Data on its prognostic …
