Implication

Analysis shows similar in-hospital mortality but higher readmission rates in high-risk pulmonary embolism patients using ECMO support, indicating need for careful monitoring.

Key Points

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support had similar in-hospital mortality rates for high-risk pulmonary embolism patients compared to those not receiving it.
Patients receiving ECMO had longer hospital stays (average 20 days) and significantly higher hospitalization costs ($622,026) than those without ECMO.
The 30-day readmission rate for ECMO patients was markedly higher at 6% compared to 1% for the non-ECMO group, linked to sepsis and heart failure.
This analysis highlights the challenges and financial implications of using ECMO in high-risk pulmonary embolism cases.
