Excerpt

We read with great interest the analysis by Smith et al. [1] on the correlation between duration of veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECMO) and outcomes, using data from the extracorporeal life support organization (ELSO). We note their finding that decannulation at day four of VA-ECMO is associated with the highest percentage of patients surviving. …
