Core Tip

Core Tip: The case of a patient with severe capillary leak syndrome who was successfully treated by veno-venous-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is reported, which reflects the positive role of VV-ECMO in the treatment of capillary leak syndrome (CLS), and reflects the key elements of clinical treatment of CLS, such as increasing plasma colloidal osmotic pressure, improving circulation, and ensuring tissue oxygen supply.
