Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation systems have undergone rapid technological improvements and are now feasible options for medium-term support of severe cardiac or pulmonary failure. We report five cases of electrical storm that was rescued by the insertion of peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation systems. This device could help to restore systemic circulation as well as permitting organ perfusion in patients with cardiogenic shock in relation to electrical storm thus achieving greater electrical stability. Also, in some cases extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support could facilitate electrophysiology study.

Background: Aluminum phosphate (ALP) poisoning has a high mortality rate (MR) secondary to cardiogenic shock. Recently, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) showed a successful result in this issue. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the MR of patients with ALP poisoning who underwent ECMO versus those with conventional treatment.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by systemic hypoperfusion that can quickly progress to multiorgan failure and death. Various devices and configurations of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) exist to support patients, each with unique pathophysiological characteristics. The Intra-aortic balloon pump can improve coronary perfusion, decrease afterload, and indirectly augment cardiac output.

Article Synopsis
- Patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock supported by veno-arterial ECMO show high mortality rates, and this study examines the potential survival benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- Data from 1623 patients was analyzed, revealing that those who underwent PCI had lower in-hospital mortality rates compared to those who did not, along with better outcomes in terms of ECMO weaning success.
- The study concludes that PCI may lower mortality and improve recovery among patients receiving ECMO for AMICS, without increasing the risk of complications related to ECMO.
Introduction: Patients undergoing evaluation for a heart transplant are frequently on inotropic medications or mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, which places them at a higher risk for anesthesia-related complications. These patients often require colonoscopies for bleeding or screening purposes, but there are limited data on the safety and outcomes of colonoscopy in this setting.
Methods: This is a retrospective, two-center study between the years 2015 and 2021 of patients with heart failure who subsequently underwent a heart transplant.
