- Abstract
We observed early acute lung injury (ALI) after a switch from veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) to long-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS). The aim of our study was to analyse the frequency, impact on mortality and characteristics of patients presenting ALI after MCS implantation in the bridge-to-bridge (BTB) strategy.
