Proposal for a trial of early left ventricular venting during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for cardiogenic shockCentral MessagePerspective

Objective: Patients with profound cardiogenic shock may require venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for circulatory support most commonly via the femoral vessels. The rate of cardiac recovery in this population remains low, possibly because peripheral VA-ECMO increases ventr...
