Use of ECMO to Temporize Circulatory Instability During Severe Brugada Electrical Storm
Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 09/16/09

Pagel PS et al. – The authors describe the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to temporize circulatory instability during almost incessant ventricular fibrillation in a patient with Brugada syndrome who had electively discontinued chronic amiodarone therapy. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was continued for 3 days after emergent delivery of the neonate, during which time the number of ventricular fibrillation episodes and internal defibrillations markedly decreased concomitant with administration of intravenous amiodarone and verapamil.
