Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation used during transcatheter aortic valve implantation may facilitate the procedure and help to achieve a good result in patients with severely reduced myocardial function or in cardiogenic shock. To highlight the positive, yet still rarely discussed, outcomes of ECMO use we present a comparison of both emergency and elective use of ECMO in 2 TAVI cases.
