Management of rTTS associated with PGL using VA-ECMO and surgical resection: a case report
The diagnosis of rTTS is significantly aided by the presence of free plasma metanephrines and specific changes observed in cardiac ultrasound. In the treatment of severe rTTS, ECMO can serve as a crucial life support technology. Under VA-ECMO support, early resection of the PGL after accelerated preoperative preparation may be a feasible approach.
