Abstract Background ECMO-associated coagulopathy is a common phenomenon in patients undergoing ECMO therapy. However, data on coagulation trajectories in the post ECMO decannulation period are limited. This study aimed to..
Read MoreAbstract Assessment of readiness for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) weaning relies on hemodynamic and metabolic parameters of cardiac and respiratory functions. Lactate clearance, inotropic support, and echocardiographic criteria,..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: In neonates, the carotid artery can be ligated or reconstructed at the time of decannulation from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). However, there is a paucity of data..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Decannulation after pediatric extracorporeal life support (ECLS) may be accompanied by arterial reconstruction. There is a paucity of data on arterial morphology following reconstruction. We sought to characterize..
Read MoreWe present an enhanced percutaneous decannulation technique for a patient undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This innovative approach uses two distinct percutaneous vascular devices, offering a more reliable and more..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Fever is frequent after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) decannulation. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of post-decannulation fever and describe its causes. Methods Adult ECMO patients who were..
Read MoreAbstract Background Clinical blood resources are scarce and autologous blood transfusion for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) withdrawal is less studied. Objectives To assess the use of staged autotransfusion during ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Background Clinical blood resources are scarce and autologous blood transfusion for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) withdrawal is less studied. Objectives To assess the use of staged during decannulation. Methods The study..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a therapy for patients with refractory respiratory failure. The decision to decannulate someone from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often involves weaning trials..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Although (ECLS) has increasingly been used for the of patients with (CS), the outcomes of those successfully weaned from support remain poorly defined. Methods Of 510 venoarterial ECLS CS patients at..
Read MoreAbstract Decannulation of patients on peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) typically involves femoral arterial cutdown and surgical arteriotomy closure in an operating room under general anesthesia. However, this..
Read MoreAbstract Percutaneous cannulation improved femoro-femoral veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) results, reducing infectious complications, but remains limited by vascular complications related to the arterial decannulation. Several techniques were described to perform a percutaneous decannulation..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose A survival gap between weaning from venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and the hospital discharge has been consistently reported. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical..
Read MoreABSTRACT In 1952, John Gibbon performed the first successful cardiac procedure using cardiopulmonary bypass, which turned out to be one of the most important clinical advances of that year. Cardiopulmonary..
