Objectives: To elucidate the epidemiology, complication profiles, hospital outcome, and
predisposing factors of CNS complications occurring during venoarterial extracorporeal …

Background Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) may represent a life-threatening event,
characterized by rapidly progressive cardiac compromise that ultimately leads to refractory …

Introduction/Aim Veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V‐A ECMO ) support
is increasingly used in refractory cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest, but is characterized …

Aims We present 5-year echocardiographic results of combined undersizing mitral ring
annuloplasty (UMRA) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in chronic ischaemic mitral …

OBJECTIVE: It is uncertain whether mitral valve replacement is really inferior to mitral valve
repair for the treatment of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation. This multicenter study aimed …

Background Venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) application
in postcardiotomy shock (PCS) and non-PCS is increasing. VA-ECMO plays a critical role in …

Background Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for refractory
cardiogenic shock (RCS) is increasingly used in adult patients, but age represents a …
