PG - e27258 LID - 10.7759/cureus.27258 [doi] LID - e27258 AB - Surgical decannulation for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is recommended as a standard weaning strategy considering large-sized cannulas (14-22 French) are inserted in VA-ECMO. However, we should be aware of complications such as bleeding and infection when removing an arterial cannula, especially in facilities without on-site cardiac surgical backup. Percutaneous closure devices for femoral arterial access sites are currently approved for the decannulation of a 10-French or smaller sheath. We reported a case of successful weaning off from ECMO using a combination method of a balloon catheter and a Perclose ProGlide closure device. We successfully removed the arterial cannula using this technique for four ECMO-treated patients without vascular complications or blood transfusion. Percutaneous decannulation by this method could reduce the procedural time and adverse events and be safely performed even in facilities without on-site cardiac surgical backup.
