Description
Seonghyeon Bu reports three cases where a heart-lung machine supported emergency coronary treatment after heart attacks, in a paper published in 2025. Venoarterial ECMO takes over circulation and oxygenation, and guidelines first endorsed it for cardiogenic shock, though recent trials question that use. Bu's patients differed: each had arrested from a heart attack but was not in shock. The machine steadied them while doctors opened the blocked artery. All three tolerated the support and left hospital with a good prognosis, suggesting a narrower procedural role for the technology.
