Mitral valve replacement through mini sternotomy after long ECMO course: Case report.
Tamer AbdalghafoorHatem SarhanAli KindawiPublished in: Perfusion (2021)
Our report demonstrates that the use of a long term VV ECMO facilitates management of patients with respiratory failure associated with severe MR. Future studies focusing on stabilizing such patients, might help to define the optimal timing for intervention in these patients and the long-term outcome.
