Case report: successful emergent transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement within failing pulmonary artery conduit in the setting of cardiogenic shock with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.
Nabil SabbakJoanna GhobrialPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2021)
In critically ill patients with complex congenital heart disease that are neither surgical nor transplant candidates, ECMO support can be used as a means of support during a transcatheter intervention to improve haemodynamics and a bridge to recovery, allowing time for future potential candidacy for surgery or transplantation as indicated. Patients with congenital heart disease need regular follow-up in specialty clinics to prevent the development of such critical illness.
