In our study, one-third of patients decannulated off VA-ECMO did not survive to hospital discharge due to end-stage heart failure, infections or neurological injury. The first 8 post-decannulation days were recognized as a critical period where thorough strategies to prevent acquired infections and cautious support of end-organ function should be warranted. Future large-scale trials are needed to confirm our results.
