Abstract
A neonate with myocardial infarction who failed to respond to conventi onal treatment was supported bg extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (E CMO), Severe mitral valve regurgitation necessitated mitral valve repl acement while receiving ECMO following which the infant was successful ly weaned. ECMO should be considered for potentially treatable causes of catastrophic heart failure.
