Figure Lengend Snippet: CT. A , CT of the chest with IV contrast on day 3 post extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation: no pulmonary embolism, bilateral moderate pneumothoraces, pneumomediastinum, and bilateral diffuse ground glass opacities with consolidation and an air bronchogram with interlobular septal thickening. B , CT of the chest 6 mo later showed dramatic improvement of his lung tissue with minimal residual ground glass appearance in the bilateral lower lung zones.

Article Snippet: Using mild conscious sedation and local anesthesia in the presence of the anesthesia consultant, in case of a need for an emergency airway, the patient was placed on venovenous-ECMO using both femoral veins (fem-fem venovenous-ECMO) with no acute complication using a Cardiohelp Device with an CARDIOHELP System 7.0 L ECMO membrane oxygenator (Getinge AB, Göteborg, Sweden).

Figure Lengend Snippet: PRISMA flow diagram. Graphical representation of the systematic literature review according to the PRISMA reporting guideline. Abbreviations: SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Most of the patients in the case studies were male (m 10, f 3) and the median age was 42.6 years (interquartile range 22.5–56 years). Only three patients had reported cardiovascular risk factors diabetes and hypertension in their medical history. One of them already had two previously implanted permeable stents and an ischemic heart disease without chronic heart failure before COVID-19 myocarditis. Pulmonary manifestation in the form of pneumonia was only reported in one patient and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was only reported in four patients of 13 cases [ – , ]. One of these four patients with ARDS requiring veno-arterio-venous ECMO (VAV-ECMO) due to ARDS .
