Cardiac Catheterization in Critically Ill Pediatric Patients Supported With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A 12‐Year Experience From a Latin American Center
Cardiac catheterization during ECMO was feasible and safe in this cohort. Most procedures were performed early and included transcatheter interventions. Although multivariable analysis did not identify independent predictors of survival, catheterization provided essential diagnostic and therapeutic information that influenced management. These findings support its role in selected pediatric patients supported with ECMO.
