Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Early Graft Dysfunction Following Heart Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Purpose Early graft dysfunction (EGD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following heart transplantation (HT). The rate of severe EGD requiring inotropes and/or mechanical circulatory support such as veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) ranges from 8-20%.
