The Hemodynamic Effect of Different Left Ventricular Unloading Techniques During Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Life Support: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Left ventricular unloading was associated with a significant reduction in left ventricular preload parameters in the setting of veno-arterial extracorporeal life support. This effect may be most pronounced for micro-axial blood pump and atrial septostomy.
