Objectives: Mortality in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is believed to be principally due to the subgroup of PEs that are massive. Systemic thrombolysis is the therapeutic mainstay for acute massive PE, despite evidence suggesting limited survival benefits. Both catheter-based therapies (CBT) and surgical pulmonary embolectomy (SE) are well-accepted alternatives to treat acute PE.

Veno-arterial (V-A) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly commonly used to treat acute cardiac or pulmonary failure because of a wide range of etiologies. However, despite progressively improving outcomes, the mortality associated with V-A ECMO, particularly when used to treat cardiac failure (its most common indication), continues to be high. Consistent with this, V-A ECMO is associated with numerous morbid complications.
