Arterial access complications in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenat...
Nóbrega, Leandro; Dias, Lara; Moura, Tiago; Paz Dias, Pedro; Sousa, Joel; Roncon, Roberto; Mansilha, ArmandoINTRODUCTION: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasing in recent years. Veno-Arterial ECMO (ECMO-VA) is usually deployed in refractory cardiac failure and is mostly cannulated through the common femoral artery. When present, arterial access complications may have important consequences in these patients. Therefore, this work aims to narratively review the available evidence rega...
