Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the safety, outcomes, and complication rates of using right axillary artery cannulation for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in a non-emergency setting from January 2013 to December 2017.
- - Out of 174 patients analyzed, 30.5% died while on VA-ECMO support, with a 1-year mortality rate of 49.4%. Most patients either recovered, were bridged to long-term support, or received heart transplants.
- - The findings indicate that right axillary artery cannulation is a safe method for VA-ECMO, presenting low complication rates, though the study lacks a control group for comparison
