Abstract

Surgical management of anterior mediastinal masses (AMM) compressing major airways and vascular structures is challenging. Careful planning for surgical resection and expecting potential complications can be life saving for the patient. Venoarterial cxtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has been used as a bridging strategy to removal of a large compressing mass. We are reporting our experience with a case that required Impella placement in addition to VA ECMO duo to severe ventricular dysfunction.
