Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objectives: We observed early acute lung injury (ALI) after a switch from veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) to longterm mechanical circulatory support (MCS). The aim of our study was to analyse the frequency, impact on mortality and characteristics of patients presenting ALI after MCS implantation in the bridge-to-bridge (BTB) strategy. Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from 55 consecutive cardiogenic shock patients who underwent a BTB strategy between January 2004 and March 2012 in our centre. ALI was defined as severe acute respiratory failure (PaO2/FiO2 <200) with or without need for iterative VA-ECLS or veno-venous (VV)-exracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) occurring within 48 h of MCS implantation. Results: ALI was observed in 15 of 55 (27%) patients. Elevenpatients required VV-ECMO or VA-ECLS and 4 were treated medically. The median (interquartile range) duration of support under a long-term device was 47.5 (168.8) days. Mortality while on long-term support was significantly higher in patients who developed ALI (13 of 15, 87%) than in those who did not (21 of 40, 53%; P = 0.03). Hazard ratio for death while on support in patients who developed ALI whencompared with those who did not was 3.390 (95% confidence interval, 1.636-7.026, P = 0.001). Univariate risk factors for postimplant ALI included: signs of pulmonary oedema while under extracorporeal life support (ECLS) during the week preceding long-term device implantation; mechanical ventilation, theincomplete recovery of renal and hepatic functions and the number of red blood cell units transfused at the time of long-term device implantation, and use of pulsatile, biventricular support. Conclusions: Implantation of a long-term MCS device in patients on ECLS can result in severe ALI, which is associated with ominous outcomes. Various preimplant risk factors for ALI have been identified and might allow devising strategies to prevent this complication. © The Author 2013.
