Abstract

VA-ECMO poses many challenges from clinical and engineering point of view. In this symposium, presenters will elucidate key aspects and hurdles in managing patients undergoing these therapies: how to make complex clinical decisions, how to optimize therapies using modelling techniques. The symposium is intended to highlight lessons learned from clinical studies and experience and from modelling and simulation, and to promote a discussion on how improve patients outcome in the near future.
