TL;DR: Overall survival was 13, deaths were caused by pre-ECMO hypoxia, pulmonary insufficiency, and associated cardiac disease, and no patient had recurrent pulmonary hypertension after late repair.

TL;DR: There were a total of 47 infants reported to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) who had undergone a second course of ECMO, and the two most common diagnoses among these infants were congenital diaphragrnatic hernia and PPHN.
Abstract: Recurrence of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) after successful extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy has been reported.1,2 Payne1 treated the recurrence of PPHN with conventional therapy, and two of his three patients recovered. De La Cruz2 reported using a second course of ECMO to treat a recurrence of pulmonary hypertension and respiratory failure of other origins in three patients. Two of the three infants survived. As of January 13, 1993, there were a total of 47 infants reported to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) who had undergone a second course of ECMO.3 The two most common diagnoses among these infants were congenital diaphragrnatic hernia and PPHN.

TL;DR: Because it is shown that such a lesion may also develop as a result of HCV infection in the liver graft of a patient not transplanted for PBC, it is believed it should not be considered as the hallmark of PBC.
Abstract: experienced a histopathologically typical acute rejection episode with marked bile duct injury prior to HCV recurrence, and it is therefore possible that the bile duct injury had, in some way, interfered with the pattern of HCV damage. Third, the use of immunosuppressive agents could have interfered with the immune mediatedor direct cytopathic HCV related injury. This granulomatous bile duct destruction was comparable to the florid duct lesion described as a characteristic feature of PBC and whose presence has recently been used as evidence of PBC recurrence liver grafts6. Because we have shown that such a lesion may also develop as a result of HCV infection in the liver graft of a patient not transplanted for PBC, we believe it should not be considered as the hallmark of PBC.

TL;DR: The authors adopted a policy of weaning from ECMO before repair in an effort to avoid hemorrhagic risks and reviewed their experience with CDH patients who required ECMO for stabilization before repair but for whom post-ECMO repair was planned.
