Analysis of Risk Factors Associated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Surgical Repair of Peripheral Pulmonary Artery Stenoses

The data demonstrate multiple differences between patients who did and did not require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after surgical repair of peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis. These results suggest that the preoperative extent of disease may predispose to the development of acute lung injury requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.
