Successful management of hemodynamic instability secondary to saddle pulmonary embolism-induced cardiac arrest using VA-ECMO in advanced malignancy with brain metastases

Abstract Background Saddle pulmonary embolism (SPE) represents a rare type of venous thromboembolism that frequently causes circulation collapse and sudden death. While venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been well established as a salvage treatment for SPE-induced circula...
