Percutaneous Axillary Venting During Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Cost-Effective Bridge Strategy for Cardiac Arrest

Left ventricular (LV) distension is a life-threatening complication of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), requiring prompt venting in the setting of uncertain neurological prognosis. Current strategies, microaxial devices and surgical venting, are costly...
