Preclosure technique versus arterial cutdown after percutaneous cannulation for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arteriotomy repair through the preclosure technique during elective arterial access procedures is well documented. Outcomes associated with application of this technique to the removal of arterial access cannulas in patients undergoing urgent venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) have not previously been reported.

Methods

We reviewed the records of consecutive patients who required VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock. Patients were compared by use of the preclosure device (Perclose ProGlide Suture-Mediated Closure System; Abbott Vascular, Abbott Park, Ill) at time of VA-ECMO cannulation. The rate of limb complications (composite of limb ischemia, infection, and site necrosis) and secondary end points of bleeding events, pseudoaneurysm, distal part e
