Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) using veno-arterial
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a novel lifesaving method for …

Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a rapidly growing
treatment strategy due to increasing survival rates in selected patients. Additional left …

Aims The clinical benefits of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐
ECMO) for profound cardiogenic shock are well known. However, peripheral VA‐ECMO …

Introduction and objectives Although venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(VA-ECMO) provides effective cardiocirculatory support in patients with fulminant …

Postcardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (PC-ECMO), the most frequent
indication for ECMO in the United States, is increasingly used as the first-line mechanical …

In atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, reduced time for ventricular filling and loss of atrial
contribution lead to a significant reduction in cardiac output, resulting in cardiogenic shock …

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is increasingly used in
