PGD after heart txp can be tackled with early ECMO, direct transition from bypass to ECMO. 36 hours post txp, severe PGD on dual inotropy with CI of 1.2 improved to normal BiV function and a CI of 4 on single inotropy off ECMO. #earlyECMO #hearttransplant

LAVA ECMO has been a great strategy to vent the left side, however stasis may still exist when there is no intrinsic pulsatility. Impella 5.5, while challenging to place in these situations, provides the best solution for LV venting. #ecmo #impella Adv Biomed

Sensitized patients with biventricular shock and VT have very few options. Recently, Chetan Pasrija and I elected to use 2 HM3s or a HM6 as a TAH. Thanks to the entire Johns Hopkins Cardiology HF group for continuing to support giving high risk patients options.
