ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support following major aortic surgery with particular reference to aortic dissection remains controversial without clear direction. We aim to shed some lights on the subject in order to make an impact and give a clear view that may well lead to further studies.
Research motivation
We believe that a clear direction based on evidence may change current attitude.
Research objectives
Although ECMO support is not perfect, it does work when appropriately considered and performed. We believe it may become an additional option in aortic surgery.
Research methods
The methods have been already described in the article.
Research results
The results are promising and may lead to further studies to improve outcomes.
Research conclusions
There is enough evidence to support our statement although we would like to think that further studies can be pursued to confirm our initial findings.
Research perspectives
There is potential to support further studies in the future.
