Early left atrial venting versus conventional treatment for left ventricular decompression during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support: The EVOLVE?ECMO randomized clinical trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Patients with significant pulmonary oedema or aortic valve (AV) closure during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) were randomized to early left ventricular (LV) unloading or conventional strategy groups (1:1).
