Objectives: To summarise the surgical outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock supported by preoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Methods: Between May 2012 and August 2017, eight patients with cardiogenic shock, who were supported by ECMO, underwent emergency surgery; four of them had isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, three had coronary artery bypass grafting with mitral replacement, and one had mitral valve replacement with left ventricular posterior wall repair.
Results: All eight patients were successfully weaned off from ECMO after their surgeries. Postoperative ECMO time ranged from 6.8 to 228.0 h, with a median of 68.4 h. Two patients died postoperatively while another six survived. The follow up time for the six patients ranged from three to 66 months, whereby one of them died in the third month due to septicaemia. The remaining five patients survived with good cardiac function based on the NYHA classification.
Conclusion: ECMO is a vital bridge in the preparation of critically-ill patients for cardiac surgery. It is associated with acceptable outcomes among most of the patients.

The right heart catheterization (RHC) remains an important diagnostic tool for a spectrum of cardiovascular disease processes including pulmonary hypertension (PH), shock, valvular heart disease, and unexplained dyspnea. While it gained widespread utilization after its introduction, the role of the RHC has evolved to provide valuable information for the management of advanced therapies in heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock (CS) to name a few. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview on the indications, utilization, complications, interpretation, and calculations associated with RHC.

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to assess the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing shock types among intensive care patients.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register, and Google Scholar was conducted for controlled trials published up to June 2023. Two intensivists independently screened articles for full-text reviews and abstracts, evaluating study quality using the QUADAS-2 tool.

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) poses significant challenges in cardiovascular management due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS) is a severe complication following ATAAD repair that complicates postoperative recovery. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a potential life-saving intervention in this context, yet the specific outcomes related to ECMO in ATAAD patients remain insufficiently studied.

We report the case of a 16-year-old female with previously diagnosed bilateral sub-segmental pulmonary emboli who presented in cardiogenic shock from depressed biventricular function with cardiac MRI demonstrating concern for microvascular coronary injury. She was ultimately diagnosed with catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome-induced ischaemic cardiomyopathy, potentially associated with an underlying autoimmune connective tissue disease.
