Abstract Objective: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is increasing worldwide. In most cases, the surgical technique includes cannulation of the groin for the establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass, requiring a second..

Abstract Objectives Percutaneous pulmonary artery cannulas, used as inflow for left ventricular venting or as outflow for right ventricular mechanical circulatory support, are easily and rapidly deployable with transesophageal and..

Abstract Objectives To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the techniques and outcomes associated with percutaneous decannulation of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA–ECMO) using the Manta vascular closure device...

Abstract Refractory right ventricular failure has significant morbidity and mortality. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is indicated when medical interventions are deemed ineffective. However, it is still being determined if one configuration is better. We conducted..

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery such as a mitral valve procedure requires femoral arterial cannulation for extracorporeal circulation access. Currently, surgical cutdown and arterial puncture under direct vision comprise the predominant..

Abstract Surgical decannulation for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is recommended as a standard weaning strategy considering large-sized cannulas (14-22 French) are inserted in VA-ECMO. However, we should be aware..

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the clinical outcomes and perioperative complications associated with complete percutaneous decannulation of femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) with the MANTA closure device. Methods This is..

Abstract Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has evolved in its practice over the past several years. Percutaneous cannulation is a technique that can be used during MICS to facilitate cardiopulmonary..

Abstract Purpose Percutaneous cannulation is increasingly used for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). However, there is limited evidence about the benefit of this approach compared with conventional surgical cannulation. By..
