Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for cardiopulmonary arrest due to left ventricular free wall rupture is considered effective, because it enables rapid cardiopulmonary support and introduction of targeted temperature management.

Keywords: ECMO; left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR); targeted temperature management (TTM).
