Complete Myocardial Function Recovery with ECMO in a Woman Presenting with Cardiogenic Shock during Peripartum Period.

We present a case of a woman in her peripartum period who presented with cardiogenic shock and made complete myocardial function recovery after 4 days of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Our patient's EF at the time of catastrophe was 5-10%, which improved to 60% on day 4 on ECMO. PMID: 30250348 [PubMed - in process]
