Aims: This study aimed to investigate incidence and predictors of weaning failure and in-hospital death after successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).
Methods And Results: Overall, 685 patients with CS treated with VA-ECMO from 23 tertiary care centres in 7 countries were analysed (median age 57 [interquartile range 49-66] years, 542 [79.1%] male, median lactate 7.
Considering veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a first-line strategy for rewarming in accidental hypothermia complicated by cardiac arrest - a case series.

Severe accidental hypothermia can lead to cardiac arrest. The most efficient method of resuscitating and warming is by ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation). While the convention is to use VA ECMO (Veno Arterial ECMO), using VV ECMO (Veno Venous ECMO) in which the blood is returned directly into the right ventricle could be an alternative and lead to conversion to life sustaining cardiac rhythm.

Objectives: The benefit of combining multiple mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) is debated. This review examines patient characteristics across studies to identify differences and assesses if patients with a higher-risk clinical profile receive Impella unloading.
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine if there were significant differences in baseline clinical parameters among patients receiving MCS in addition to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO).
Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement in the Resternotomy Setting.

Objectives: While valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) has demonstrated satisfactory outcomes, its utility in a reoperative sternotomy setting remains uncertain. This study evaluates the perioperative safety and long-term durability of reoperative sternotomy VSRR.
Methods: All consecutive VSRR at two centers from 2005-2020 were included.
Mechanical circulatory support: when, how, and for whom.

Cardiogenic shock represents a critical condition in which the heart is unable to maintain adequate circulation leading to insufficient tissue perfusion and end-organ failure. Temporary mechanical circulatory support offers the potential to stabilize patients, provide a bridge-to-recovery, provide a bridge-to-decision, or facilitate definitive heart replacement therapies. Although randomized controlled trials have been performed in infarct-related cardiogenic shock and refractory cardiac arrest, the optimal timing, appropriate patient selection, and optimal implementation of these devices remain complex and predominantly based on observational data and expert consensus, especially in non-ischaemic shock.
