Direct versus indirect effects of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
June 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how often cardiogenic shock (CS) occurs after surgery compared to a less invasive procedure called transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) for tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
- It analyzed data from 122 patients and found that surgery significantly increases the risk of developing advanced CS and that patients with higher central venous pressure (CVP) are at even greater risk.
- The results indicate that those who experience severe CS after either procedure face a higher likelihood of in-hospital death, highlighting the dangers associated with surgical interventions for TR.
