Add to ORKGThe mechanical cardiac assistance, once limited only to the adult patients, is now progressively extended to the paediatric population, including neonates. Currently for children with cardiorespiratory insufficiency requiring for a mechanical assistance there are available several options: Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump, Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) et le Ventricular Assist Device. From April 1999 in our Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at CHUV 8 children, including 4 neonates, have been treated with ECMO. Indications, contra-indications, advantages, disadvantages, results and complications of the available options of paediatric mechanical cardiac assistance are described
