Central versus peripheral VA ECMO for cardiogenic shock: an 8-year experience of a tertiary cardiac surgery center in Greece
Patients on central VA ECMO were supported mainly for post-cardiotomy shock, presented with more complications such as major bleeding and AKI, and had worse survival to hospital discharge compared with patients on peripheral VA ECMO. Patient selection, timing of implementation, cannulation strategy, and configuration remain the main determinants of clinical outcome.
