Abstract
ECMO-assisted coronary angiography revealed in-stent thrombosis in the anterior descending branch, and the lumen was 100% occluded; an embolus shadow was observed in the circumflex branch, with TIMI level 3 blood flow. [...]the study showed that implantation of ECMO resulted in a 100% success rate for emergency intervention, thus providing a strong likelihood of rescue. ECMO-anticoagulant therapy is currently adjusted according to the activated clotting time, but when a patient develops circulatory and respiratory failure, the metabolic state may be different from that under normal conditions. [...]the management of anticoagulant therapy during ECMO should also be further explored. First successful combination of ECMO with cytokine removal therapy in cardiogenic septic shock: A case report.
