Blood-contacting medical devices, especially extracorporeal membrane oxygenators (ECMOs), are highly susceptible to surface-induced coagulation because of their extensive surface area. This can compromise device functionality and lead to life-threatening complications. High doses of anticoagulants, combined with anti-thrombogenic surface coatings, are typically employed to mitigate this risk, but such treatment can lead to hemorrhagic complications.

Catheter-based interventions and surgical embolectomy represent alternatives to systemic fibrinolysis for patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) or those with intermediate-high-risk PE who deteriorate hemodynamically. They are indicated when systemic fibrinolysis is contraindicated or ineffective, or if obstructive shock is imminent. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be added to reperfusion therapies or used alone for severe right ventricular dysfunction and cardiogenic shock.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with very poor outcomes. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) for selected patients is a potential therapeutic option for refractory cardiac arrest. However, randomised controlled studies applying eCPR after refractory OHCA have demonstrated conflicting results regarding survival and good functional neurological outcomes.
