Abstract:Objective Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) can provide temporary circulatory and respiratory support allowing hemodynamic stabilization during high-risk transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, the optimal timing of VA-ECMO use in high-risk TAVR remains controversial. We aimed to report our experience using a novel standby ECMO strategy during high-risk TAVR. Methods We retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients who received high-risk TAVR with standby ECMO between… Show more
