We present the case of a woman assisted with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (v-a ECMO) for postischemic cardiogenic shock, who developed left ventricular thrombosis despite systemic anticoagulation and left ventricular apical venting. We successfully achieved local thrombolysis with tenecteplase administered through the venting cannula to obtain local thrombolysis while reducing systemic effects to a minimum. The procedure was effective with mild systemic bleeding and the patient was successfully weaned off the extracorporeal support a few days thereafter.

Abstract

We present the case of a woman assisted with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (v-a ECMO) for postischemic cardiogenic shock, who developed left ventricular thrombosis despite systemic anticoagulation and left ventricular apical venting. We successfully achieved local thrombolysis with tenecteplase administered through the venting cannula to obtain local thrombolysis while reducing systemic effects to a minimum. The procedure was effective with mild systemic bleeding and the patient was successfully weaned off the extracorporeal support a few days thereafter.
