Post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) occurs in 2-6% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and 1% of cardiac surgery patients will require mechanical circulatory support using Veno-Arterial ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Acute Kidney Injury is a frequent complication in this population and negatively impacts the survival. We aimed to determine whether the timing of ECMO implantation influence the renal prognosis of these patients.
