title: Elective ECMO support for pulmonary artery stent placement in a 4.9-kg shunt-dependent patient.
abstract: Although extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is traditionally used to emergently manage respiratory and/or cardiovascular failure, ECMO can also support cardiorespiratory function in nonemergent settings. Here we present the elective use of ECMO to support a 4.9-kg pediatric patient undergoing a complex percutaneous catheter-based intervention.
