DanGer Shock! The first temporary mechanical support device shown to reduce mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock but there is an increased risk of complications. @ShashankSinhaMD @ShelleyZieroth @JasonKatzMD @thiele_holger @DrDamluji @agtruesdell @Cardio_Girl

Age & outcomes in adults with acute respiratory failure in VV #ECMO, analysis of @ELSOOrg registry (2017-2022) 🗃️ >27K pts/144 centres 🪦 41.5% in-hospital mortality Increasing age strongly associated with poorer outcomes; risk emerges as early as 30 y 🔓 rdcu.be/dzcdZ

Modified 4Ts scoring system in patients on mechanical circulatory support which may allow for more accurate screening helping identify patients at risk for developing HIT, with prompt treatment 🖇️ bit.ly/49zYR9p With editorial on MCS & heparin 🖇️ bit.ly/3SAVmZx






Novel off-pump direct apical #ECMO cannulation via mini-thoracotomy with dual-lumen cannula @asaiojournal 🖇️ bit.ly/49Iabkf 🫀provides high flow #ECLS with LV decompression + (optional) biventricular + respiratory support 🫀allows ambulation + avoids peripheral artery access-related complications 🫀improves EF, CO/CI & pulmonary artery pressures
