Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is widely used to support and rest the heart before or following repair of congenital cardiac lesions in children. The beneficial effects of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for the failing myocardium are undisputed. It is often an automatic choice whenever the heart seems incapable of supporting the circulation. However, its use may prove detrimental in patients with coronary anomalies, as illustrated by the case reports presented here.
