Short-Term Outcomes of Elective High-Risk PCI with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support: A Single-Centre Registry

Abstract

High-risk PCI with hemodynamic support using VA-ECMO is a feasible treatment option, if surgical revascularization is considered very high risk. Larger and prospective studies are awaited to confirm the benefits of ECMO support in elective high-risk PCI comparing ECMO with other mechanical circulatory support devices, including coaxial left cardiac support devices and IABP. <i>Trial Registration</i>. This trial is registered with NCT05387902.
