Fig 1 Comparison of renal function among various modalities of mechanical cardiac support in children with end-stage heart failure at different timepoints. Squares indicate ventricular assist device (VAD) only; circles indicate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) plus VAD; triangles indicate ECMO only. (eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate.)
