Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to advanced heart failure therapies
The Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation（2023）
Abstract
After implementation of the 2018 UNOS allocation system, ECMO utilization as BTT or LVAD has increased, and the acuity of BTT intent patients cannulated for ECMO has decreased. There has not yet been an increase in more acute ECMO patients getting transplanted. This may partially explain the post-transplant outcomes of ECMO patients in the current era reported in UNOS.
