Early prediction of transition to durable mechanical circulatory support in patients undergoing peripheral veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for critical cardiogenic shock

Peripheral veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (pVA‐ECMO) has gained increasing value in the management of patients with critical cardiogenic shock (cCS), allowing time for myocardial recovery. Failure of myocardial recovery has life‐altering consequences: transition to durable mechanical circulatory support (dMCS), urgent heart transplantation, or withdrawal of support. Clinical factors controlling myocardial recovery under these...
