The autopsies of patients who died despite postcardiotomy ECMO support showed that in 40% of cases that had been investigated by echo only, residual lesions that had not been detected by echocardiography were present. The cardiac catheterization and CT during ECMO are effective and safe for identifying residual lesions. Early detection and repair of residual lesions may increase the survival rate of pediatric cardiac patients on ECMO.
