168 Our in-vitro experiment also demonstrated PMPs generation with an increasing trend over time in the pediatric ECMO system. 114 Patients with LVAD had significantly increased microparticles from platelets, leukocytes, and endothelial cells, which may increase risk of developing thromboembolic complications. 169 LVAD patients had higher level of PS + microparticles and patients who developed an adverse event had significantly higher PS + microparticles than patients with no events. 170 Conclusions MAC saves lives of millions of patients who suffer heart failure, respiratory failure, and cardiopulmonary failure or who undergo cardiac surgery.
