Colchicine Overdose: Challenges With Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Microaxial Flow Pump Support.
Overview
abstract
Colchicine has an expanding role in cardiovascular disease treatment. Colchicine overdose is a toxicologic emergency. Direct cellular toxicity interferes with myocardial contractility, leading to cardiovascular collapse. We present a case of a patient with a colchicine overdose supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, highlighting the challenges and limitations.
