PG - 256-264 LID - 10.1177/14574969231181232 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Peripheral femoro-femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is viable for fast hemodynamic assistance during cardiogenic shock. Ultrasound-guided closure with a large-bore device (MANTA((R))) is a feasible option potentially replacing surgical arteriotomy closure in peripheral VA-ECMO decannulation. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients weaning from percutaneously inserted femoro-femoral VA-ECMO at the Helsinki University Hospital, Finland in 2012-2020. The primary endpoints were access-site complications, a composite of hematomas/seromas/surgical site infections (SSIs), and the safety endpoint of vascular complications (VCs). RESULTS: A total of 100 consecutive percutaneously implanted and weaned VA-ECMO patients were stratified into two groups by decannulation strategy: percutaneous ultrasound-guided MANTA device (n = 21, 21.0%) or surgical approach (n = 79, 79.0%). The mean age of the cohort was 51 +/- 13 years and females represented 25.0%. The technical success rate of the percutaneous ultrasound-guided MANTA technique was 95.2%. In multivariate analysis, surgical closure was associated with a higher incidence of combined access site hematomas/seromas/SSIs compared to percutaneous ultrasound-guided deployment of MANTA device (44.3% versus 9.5%, odds ratio (OR): 7.162, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.544-33.222; p = 0.012). Similarly, access-site complications necessitating interventions were more frequent in the surgical closure group compared to US-MANTA (ultrasound-guided MANTA) group (26.6% versus 0.0%, p = 0.005). VCs were infrequent in both groups without any significant intergroup difference (p > 0.99). CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous ultrasound-guided MANTA closure of the femoral artery after VA-ECMO decannulation was associated with high technical success rate and low incidence of VCs. Compared to surgical closure, access-site complications were significantly less frequent, along with access-site complications necessitating interventions.
