Case Report (n=1)
ECMO can serve as an effective rescue therapy for fulminant peripartum cardiomyopathy, enabling safe delivery and maternal recovery.
Park et al. (2014) conducted a case report in peripartum cardiomyopathy (n=1). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was evaluated on Successful delivery and recovery of left ventricular systolic function. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) successfully rescued a 34-year-old woman with fulminant peripartum cardiomyopathy, allowing for safe delivery and complete recovery of ventricular function.
