Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is associated with high mortality. Although survival on mechanical circulatory support has improved, determinants for better prognosis are still unclear. Here, we report on the outcome of our patient population with the need for mechanical circulatory support due to severe COVID-19 (sCOVID-19) induced ARDS.
