We read with great interest the article by Aden McLaughlin and colleagues [
[1]
]. In this article, the authors described three cases of delayed surgical repair of
septal defects by using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to
maintain vital signs during the acute phase.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
