Zusammenfassung:	Cardiac catheterisation was done to exclude coronary artery disease, and an intra-aortic balloon pump was placed for circulatory support. Central veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was established; a cannula was inserted via the abdominal wall into the right atrium to drain systemic venous blood into the ECMO pump, which returned oxygenated blood via a separate cannula into the ascending aorta (figure).
