PG - 371-378 LID - 10.1093/ejcts/ezaa039 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: In lung transplantation (LT), femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) usually requires an open approach that may be associated with severe groin wound infection. In endovascular aortic procedures, preclosing of the femoral artery (PFA) with vascular closure devices allows the percutaneous insertion and withdrawal of large-bore cannulae. We sought to evaluate whether this innovative technique could be applied in the specific setting of LT to achieve total percutaneous VA-ECMO and decrease groin wound infection. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of a prospective database including patients who underwent LT in our centre from January 2011 to December 2017. Patients who underwent peripheral VA-ECMO using the PFA technique after January 2014 (PFA group, n = 106) were compared to those who underwent peripheral VA-ECMO using open cannulation and/or decannulation before January 2014 (non-PFA group, n = 48). The primary end point was the rate of technical success defined as total percutaneous VA-ECMO. Secondary end points included groin wound infections and delayed vascular complications. RESULTS: The PFA technique was technically successful in 98 patients (92.5%). As compared with the non-PFA group, the PFA group was characterized by a similar rate of vascular complications (16.6% vs 11.3%, P = 0.360) and a decreased rate of groin wound infection (18.9% vs 0%, P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, risk factors associated with vascular complications following PFA included female sex, peripheral arterial disease and ECMO duration. CONCLUSIONS: In LT patients, PFA is associated with a high rate of total percutaneous VA-ECMO, thus preventing the occurrence of groin wound infection. CI - (c) The Author(s) 2020.
