Impact of Cardiac Catheterization on the Outcome of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) After Congenital Cardiac Surgery - Two Centers Experience
Abstract:Background: Cardiac catheterization performed for patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after congenital heart surgery may affect their clinical outcome, yet its effect in this group of patients is not adequately studied. The objective of this study was the evaluation of the impact of cardiac catheterization on successful weaning from ECMO support and survival after congenital heart surgery and determining predictors that influence successful weaning. Methods : This is a retrospectiv… Show more
