Anterolateral papillary muscle suction causing low flow in a COVID-19 patient without medical history: a case report of central extracorporeal life support with left ventricular apex decompression

Anterolateral papillary muscle suction causing low flow in a COVID-19 patient without medical history: a case report of central extracorporeal life support with left ventricular apex decompression

Abstract Background Left ventricular (LV) decompression is an essential strategy for improving early survival in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. Low pump flow in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with LV apex decompression is a life-threatening issue. However, identifying th...
