Left atrial appendage cannulation for left ventricular unloading in a patient with ventricular thrombus on extracorporeal life support
2024-12-01
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Left ventricular unloading is needed in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with severely reduced left ventricular contractility to avoid stasis and pulmonary congestion, and to promote LV recovery. The presence of thrombi in the LV precludes the use of conventional active unloading methods such as transaortic microaxial pumps or apical LV vents. We describe place...
