Preoperative Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation - 2 case reports -

Tae Sik Kim et al. Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2011 Jun.

Abstract

Indication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been extended as the experience of ECMO in various clinical settings accumulates and the outcome after ECMO installation improves. We report two cases of successful mitral valve surgery for severe ischemic mitral regurgitation in patients on ECMO support for cardiogenic shock which developed upon coronary angiography.

Keywords: Coronary artery disease; Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; Mitral valve.
