Proning the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation plus Impella: a case report.

Previous studies demonstrated that prone positioning could help avoid an additional venous cannula in veno-arterial ECMO patients, which is associated with mechanical complications. In this case, there was a promising role for unloading the left ventricle with Impella during veno-arterial ECMO and, for proning, the patient with cardiogenic shock developing ARDS during ECMO support without the need for an extra venous cannula.
