The Effect of Additional Stepwise Venous Inflow on Differential Hypoxia of Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

In conclusion, femoral-femoral VA ECMO can produce suboptimal coronary oxygenation in patients unable to tolerate one-lung ventilation. A left-to-right shunt using VAV ECMO can alleviate the differential hypoxia.
