Three-dimensional echocardiography–derived right ventricular ejection fraction correlates with success of decannulation and prognosis in patients stabilized by venoarterial extracorporeal life support

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography Oct 31, 2017

Huang KC, et al. - An assessment was performed of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE)-derived right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (RVEF) in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock stabilized by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Researchers, in addition, explored the association between 3DE-derived RVEF and weaning success as well as the prognosis after the first intent of decannulation. They realized that three-dimensional echocardiography–derived RVEF might represent the composite results of RV contractility, left ventricular performance, and fluid status. Under mechanical circulatory support of VA-ECMO, RVEF > 24.6% seemed correlated with higher weaning success and lower 30-day mortality after the first intent of decannulation.
