Neonatal tricuspid insufficiency with abnormal tricuspid valve treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): possible extension of ECMO use.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is now an accepted method of treatment for neonatal hypoxemia due to a number of causes. We extend the indications of ECMO to hypoxemia secondary to dysplastic tricuspid valve. We report the case of a neonate with congenital dysplastic tricuspid valve who responded to ECMO.
