Usefulness of Self-Expanding Drainage Cannula in Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Abstract Inadequate venous drainage decreases the efficiency of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Pump augmentation may even make it worse due to collapse of the venous system under negative pressures. Furthermore, recirculation is..
