Article Synopsis
  • - Acute mitral regurgitation (MR) due to papillary muscle rupture is a rare but serious complication of heart attacks, occurring in only 0.05-0.26% of cases.
  • - Emergency surgery is the only treatment, but it has a high risk of death (up to 39% mortality rate).
  • - Using ECMO to stabilize patients before surgery can improve outcomes; in a reported case, a patient with severe MR and shock recovered fully after ECMO and emergency mitral valve replacement.

Managing Harlequin Syndrome in VA-ECMO - do not forget the right ventricle.

Perfusion

Department of Adult Intensive Care, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.

Harlequin Syndrome (also known as North-South Syndrome) is a complication of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) that can occur when left ventricular function starts to recover. While most commonly due to continued impaired gas exchange in the lungs, we present a case caused by right ventricular dysfunction, successfully managed by conversion of the ECMO circuit to a veno-veno-arterial (VV-A) configuration.

Vascular access in ECMO.

Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

Division of Pediatric Emergency and Critical Care Department of Pediatrics PGIMER, Chandigarh-12, India.

In critically ill patients, deserving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), choosing the right pattern of cannulation such as veno-venous (VV), veno-arterial (VA), veno-veno-arterial (VVA), and central; selecting the appropriate size cannulae; and good cannulation techniques are all pre-requisites for the successful outcome of ECMO. We are describing the selection criteria for choosing appropriate size cannulae, cannulation configurations, available cannulae, and possible complications. A brief note on anticoagulation was added.

Introduction: Dual-lumen cannulas were designed to provide venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) with single-vessel access. Anatomic and size considerations may make appropriate placement challenging in children. Dual-lumen cannulas are repositioned in 20-69% of pediatric patients, which can be difficult without transient discontinuation of ECMO support.
