When ECMO is used in complex pulmonary embolism

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: J. Vorster, F. Costa

Summary

Examine the critical role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in managing complex pulmonary embolism cases. This session covers ECMO-supported interventions for central pulmonary artery occlusions, combined treatments including thrombectomy, and unique cases such as right atrial thrombus complications and pioneering ECMO-supported thrombo-embolectomy procedures.
