Abstract:
The case provided suggests that an ultrasound-navigated Manta device works well in closing percutaneously the peripheral arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation site. Ultrasonography use during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation can further diminish the possible device-related technical failures (toggle or collagen protrusion through the vessel wall, toggle stacking into calcifications, or delivery failure of the collagen pad) leading to bleeding and vascular complications. Further studies are needed on this topic.
