The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiogenic shock: a narrative review.
Tara GédéonTetiana ZolotarovaMark J EisenbergPublished in: European heart journal open (2024)
The presented literature of VA-ECMO in CS does not support its routine use in clinical practice. We have yet to identify which subset of patients would benefit most from this intervention. This review emphasizes the need for designing adequately powered trials to properly assess the role of VA-ECMO in AMI-CS, in order to build evidence for best practices.
