Acute cardiac care & resuscitation

Revascularization During Cardiac Arrest While Receiving Extracorporeal Life Support in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

JACC AdvPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Among patients with AMI and refractory OHCA treated with ECPR, one-third did not have sustained ROSC prior to PCI. Of those, two-thirds achieved sustained ROSC following reperfusion and one-fifth survived to discharge.
