Wang and colleagues [1] have included an interesting group of patients in a rescue ECMO program postcardiac surgery. The authors have examined both early and intermediate results, as well as the quality of life of this specific ECMO group.
This article [1] reports a 30-day survival of 54.8% of the entire cohort (34 of 62 patients). The data of 62 patients of 12,644 were collected retrospectively during a 4-year period with a mean duration of ECMO support of 61 ± 37 hours.
