- Description:
Heart failure can be caused by a number of factors that make the heart a less efficient pump. In this procedure an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine takes blood from the body, pumps it through a membrane that adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, and continuously pumps this blood into and around the body.
