Journal ArticleDOI

Complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for treatment of cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest: a meta-analysis of 1,866 adult patients.

TL;DR: Although ECMO can improve survival of patients with advanced heart disease, there is significant associated morbidity with performance of this intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac replacement with a total artificial heart as a bridge to transplantation

TL;DR: Implantation of the total artificial heart improved the rate of survival to heart transplantation and survival after transplantation, and prevents death in critically ill patients who have irreversible biventricular failure and are candidates for cardiac transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Manifestations and Management of Left Ventricular Assist Device–Associated Infections

TL;DR: Clinical manifestations of LVADI vary on the basis of the type of infection and the causative pathogen, and a management algorithm forLVADI is proposed to assist in the decision-making process.
Journal Article

Lack of Survival Benefit Found With Use of Intraaortic Balloon Pump in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Pooled Experience of 1517 Patients.

TL;DR: The routine insertion of concomitant IABP with ECMO is not supported by the findings, and evidence for the additive benefit of IABp therapy is limited and conflicting in part due to small sample sizes.
