Veno-Arterial ECMO in Severe Acute Right Ventricular Failure with Pulmonary Obstructive Hemodynamic Pattern

Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an effective re,cue method for severe respiratory and cardiac failure Right ventricular (RV) failure with cardiogenic shock is a critical condition with generally poor prognosis unless aggressive therapeutical measures are undertaken
