Methods: We conducted an 8-year retrospective analysis of 62 lung transplant recipients who received intraoperative ECMO (29 V-A, 33 V-V). Baseline characteristics, surgical parameters, and clinical outcomes were compared.

A young female patient suffered cardiogenic shock after undergoing surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. Coronary artery computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a left main artery (LM) originating from the right coronary sinus and traveling between the aorta and pulmonary artery. We successfully resuscitated the patient with mechanical circulatory support using veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP).

Background: Patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are considered at high risk for pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission. Therefore, this study aimed to assess outcomes and mortality-related risk factors among pediatric HSCT recipients admitted to the PICU.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a Saudi Arabian tertiary care center and involved pediatric patients (aged 4 weeks to 14 years) who underwent HSCTs between January 2015 and December 2019 and were admitted to the PICU.
