Fig 1 In-hospital (■) and late (□) survival of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) by pre-ECMO diagnosis. In-hospital survival: CM/Myo/Arr vs BiV (p = 0.011); late survival: CM/Myo/Arr vs BiV (p = 0.041). (Arr = arrhythmia; BiV = postcardiotomy failure after biventricular repair; CM = cardiomyopathy; Myo = myocarditis; SV = systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt-dependent single ventricle.)
