Left atrial appendage cannulation for left ventricular unloading in a patient with ventricular thrombus on extracorporeal life support
Abstract Background Left ventricular unloading is needed in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with severely impaired 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 a...
