Abstract :
We describe two cases of profound cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (CSAMI) requiring mechanical
circulatory support (MCS) with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) allowing complex, high-risk,
and staged percutaneous interventions with successful decannulation but with unfortunate outcomes.
