Peripheral VA-ECMO and pericardial drainage connected to the ECMO circuit for cardiac tamponade from blowout rupture: a case report

Abstract Background Left ventricular free wall rupture, particularly the blowout type, is still one of the most lethal complications of myocardial infarction and can cause catastrophic cardiac tamponade. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is often used to treat haemodynamic instability due t...
