Abstract
The cognitive function and quality of life after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) remain uncertain. In this case report, a 61-year-old male underwent ECPR for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest after 102 minutes of resuscitation. The cause of cardiac arrest was acute myocardial infarction, and occlusion of the left anterior descending artery was treated with balloon angioplasty. Five years later, the patient had preserved psychical and mental health, cognitive function, and good quality of life despite prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
