Abstract
The requirement for ECLS was higher than expected for conventional cardiac surgery. Although just over one half of patients requiring ECLS survived to discharge, they had excellent medium-term survival, with all still alive. Although ECLS is an expensive, invasive therapy, with significant morbidity and mortality, without it, those patients would have perished. Its judicious use, therefore, can be recommended.
