Percutaneous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Graft Dysfunction after Heart Transplantation
BACKGROUND We evaluated the safety and efficacy of percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with primary graft dysfunction after heart transplantation. METHODS Of 65 patients (44 males and 21 females) who underwent heart transplantation from January 2006 to December 2012, 13 patients (group I) needed peripheral ECMO support due to difficulty in weaning from cardiopu...
متن کاملOutcome of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for early primary graft failure after pediatric heart transplantation.
OBJECTIVES We sought to analyze the indications and outcome of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for early primary graft failure and determine its impact on long-term graft function and rejection risk. BACKGROUND Early post-operative graft failure requiring ECMO can complicate heart transplantation. METHODS A retrospective review of all children requiring ECMO in the early period a...
متن کاملWeaning Strategy from Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
Background: Significant advances in extracorporeal technology have led to the more widespread use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) for cardiac failure. However, procedures for weaning from VA ECMO are not standar‐ dized. High death rate after successful weaning shows that many questions remain unresolved in this field. Objectives: In this review, we discuss data fr...
متن کاملPrimary Graft Dysfunction After Lung Transplantation.
Primary graft dysfunction is a form of acute injury after lung transplantation that is associated with significant short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Multiple mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of primary graft dysfunction, including ischemia reperfusion injury, epithelial cell death, endothelial cell dysfunction, innate immune activation, oxidative stress, and release of infl...
متن کاملVeno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as cardiogenic shock therapy support in adult patients after heart surgery
INTRODUCTION The authors present their personal experience in qualifying and treating adult patients using veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock. AIM The aim of this study was to analyze the results of VA ECMO in patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock. An analysis of the risk factors of postoperative mortality was also perfor...
