A case report of cardiogenic shock due to tachycardic atrial fibrillation: a life-saving catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and prone position during veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Radiofrequency catheter ablation for AF can be effective even in case of cardio-respiratory failure necessitating VA-ECMO. Furthermore, prone positioning can be performed not only in VV-ECMO but also in VA-ECMO.
