cases have been documented in literature regarding the role of VA ECMO for
right ventricular failure after open heart surgery. We retrospectively analyzed
all cases eliciting VA ECMO for post-operative right heart failure over a
period of 24 months. Data was completely delineated for demography,
pre-operative patient status at length, brief venipuncture course, indications
for VA ECMO and its outcome after institution</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">.
