Abstract
Low-flow left ventricle percutaneous venting during peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for the management of transient left ventricle distension
Highlights
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an increasingly utilised circulatory support strategy for the management of life threatening respiratory or cardiac failure [1,2]
Left ventricular (LV) distension and pulmonary oedema are common complications associated with Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support
The development of pulmonary oedema due to left ventricular (LV) distension in patients being supported with VA-ECMO represents a significant management challenge, with a reported incidence ranging between 1060% [4]
