Abstract IMPORTANCE: “Awake” cannulation for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), where patients remain spontaneously breathing without invasive mechanical ventilation during the cannulation procedure, may reduce lung injury from positive pressure..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Although post-cardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with high mortality1, the impact of cannulation site is poorly understood. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of our post-cardiotomy veno-arterial ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Although decannulation from ECMO is usually irrevocable, in rare circumstances, ECMO will be reinitiated. Data on outcomes after re-cannulation of ECMO are limited,1 so we studied our experience with ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract A patient with a percutaneously inserted cardiopulmonary bypass cannula into the right internal jugular vein, connected to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit using tape, was referred for transport..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Explore whether extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) mortality differs by in-hospital cardiac arrest location and whether moving patients for cannulation impacts outcome. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: ECPR hospitals..
Read MoreAbstract Background Central venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a commonly employed strategy to support patients in refractory postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (RPCS). This support can be provided using either indirect..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Dual-lumen cannulas for veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support are typically inserted in the right internal jugular vein (RIJV); however, some scenarios can make this venous route..
Read MoreAbstract This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the ProtekDuo® (LivaNova, London) dual-lumen cannula’s application in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), focusing on the procedural techniques of cannulation, weaning, and decannulation...
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulas inserted through the femoral vein can stray into the ascending lumbar vein. No case has been reported in which the cannula has penetrated the..
Read MoreAbstract Aim: Optimal cannulation strategy for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) surgery remains debated. Recent guidelines have advocated antegrade systemic perfusion through right axillary artery (RAX) cannulation, instead of femoral..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Dual-lumen cannulas for veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support are typically inserted in the right internal jugular vein (RIJV), however some scenarios can make this venous route..
Read MoreAbstract Aortic dissection type A is a life-threatening condition that frequently necessitates surgical intervention. This review focuses on central aortic cannulation, arch branch vessel (ABV) cannulation, and proximal arch cannulation..
Read MoreAbstract Direct true lumen through aortic for during surgery for acute Stanford type A was reported by Jacob, followed by Conzelmann who used a tourniquet to snag the . Since 2013, Samurai cannulation, a modified version..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative outcomes and early mortality of peripheral and central cannulation techniques in cardiac reoperations using propensity score matching analysis...
Read MoreAbstract Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is an emergency procedure performed across various specialties. These conditions present barriers to education and assessment of competency. Checklists and simulation may be..
Read MoreAbstract Interaction between native ventricular output and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) flow may hinder oxygenated blood flow to the aortic arch branches, resulting in differential hypoxemia. Typically, the..
Read MoreAbstract Traditionally, cardiac surgery has been practiced primarily through a median sternotomy; however, as instrumentation and experience continue to advance at exponential rates, the field of minimally invasive cardiac surgery..
Read MoreThe neck cannulation technique for neonates requiring VA-ECMO is a critical skill necessary for successful cardiopulmonary rescue. The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (MMCTS) is an online-only teaching manual published..
Read MorePatient with previous Covid 19 and pulmonary fibrosis step by step cannulation for VV ECMO with inflow from LT femoral vein and out flow confirmed into the right cavo atrial..
Read MoreAbstract Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been increasingly used as a therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. However, a growing number of clinical observations have shown that LVADs..
Read MoreAbstract Dynamic or hybrid configurations for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are needed when patient physiology or clinical conditions change. Dynamic configurations included configurations converting from veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO or veno-venous..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel bidirectional cannula that ensures stable distal perfusion compared to conventional cannula in patients..
Read MoreAbstract Placement of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in obese patients has been challenging; however, cannulation risk in obese patients has not been clearly investigated. We therefore explored ECMO cannulation complications in this..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Cannulation strategy in surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains controversial. We aimed to retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of double arterial cannulation (DAC) compared with..
Read MoreAbstract Dynamic or hybrid configurations for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are needed when patient physiology or clinical conditions change. Dynamic configurations included configurations converting from veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO or veno-venous..
Read MoreVery simple technique for cannulation from innominate artery without sewing tubular graft 8 mm directly with curved cannula of aorta appropriate size in arch and dissection surgery. Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad..
Read MoreAbstract Placement of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in obese patients has been challenging; however, cannulation risk in obese patients has not been clearly investigated. We therefore explored ECMO cannulation complications in this..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The aim of the present study was to use a numerical simulation based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze the difference of different cannulation methods on hemodynamics characteristic..
