Article Synopsis
- The study investigates outcomes of extracorporeal life support in patients with low-output syndrome following cardiac surgery, revealing high initial mortality rates and identifying significant risk factors for both short- and long-term survival.

- Despite poor overall outcomes, peripheral cannulation improved survival chances, and only about 32% of patients survived beyond ten years post-discharge, highlighting the need for targeted monitoring of high-risk patients.
