| Abstract |
|
Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) provides hemodynamic and pulmonary support simultaneously and is increasingly used in medical practice. However, the presence of extracorporeal circulation and the use of heparin means it is not free of side effects, and use of PCPS for longer than 96 h is associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, along with the decision of when to apply or discontinue PCPS, an integrated team approach between the surgeon and the anesthesiologist to prevent and/ or manage PCPS-related complications is of paramount importance when the patient's physical status mandates prolonged use of PCPS. We hereby report 2 cases addressing successful management of postoperative cardiogenic shock, refractory to pharmacologic support, with early and prolonged application of PCPS in patients who underwent surgical anterior ventricular endocardial restoration and coronary artery bypass surgery. |
