Fig 1 Design of arterial line in ECMO. A vascular graft was anastomosed to the aorta, and then connected to an arterial cannula for more flexible and secure positioning of the outlet of ECMO. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 2220-2224DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01174-1)
Fig 2 Slope of TnT level for individual patient. (x-axis). The day of ECMO. (y-axis) TnT level (ng/mL). The rapid decline of TnT in 72 h means recovery of myocardium with a similar slope: −4.94 ± 1.18 ng/mL/day. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 68, 2220-2224DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01174-1)
