Inserting a VA-ECMO cannula through an inferior vena cava filter during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Abstract
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been utilized to treat massive pulmonary
embolism (PE) accompanied by cardiac arrest or refractory cardiogenic shock. Our team opted for a femoral-
femoral approach for…
