Long‐term renal function after venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract

The utilization of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) as a life‐supporting therapy has increased exponentially over the last decade. As more patients receive and survive ECMO, there are a number of unanswered clinical questions about their long‐term prognosis and organ function including the need for long‐term dialysis.
