Video Summary

The speaker gives an overview of mechanical circulatory support in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. They discuss the use of ECMO and VADs as bridging therapies, as well as potential long-term options. They focus on the challenges and considerations specific to patients with single ventricle circulation, such as cannulation strategies and maintaining preload for the pump. The speaker also highlights the need for timely identification and management of residual lesions in stage one palliation patients. They conclude by emphasizing the importance of early recognition, multidisciplinary team involvement, and the need for more research to guide decision-making in this population.
