A quantified description of the interactions between the native cardiovascular system and femoro‐femoral versus femoro‐axillary extracorporeal life support using descending thoracic aorta velocity time integral

Abstract: Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is an important tool in managing severe cardio‐circulatory and respiratory failures. The axillary and the femoral sites are the most frequently used for arterial cannulation. There is no current evidence favoring one site over the other. We tested the hypothesis that the axillary and femoral arterial cannulation site may have different effects on left ventricular (LV) outflow. Seven patients with femoro‐axillary ECLS and 4 patients with femoro‐femoral ECLS were prospectively … Show more

“…A low pulse pressure during VA reflects a low native cardiac output [ 28 ]. Retrograde aortic flow into the aorta during VA ECMO can cause upper body hypoxemia in relation to the competitive flows between the native blood flow and the VA ECMO blood flow (Q EC ), particularly in the case of the commonly used peripheral femoro-femoral cannulation [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Several mixed blood zones have been observed because the mixed blood zone location depends on native heart and lung functionality and on the hemodynamic support provided by VA ECMO [ 32 ].…”

“…Axillary cannulation, with its anterograde aortic blood outflow, could attenuate the impact of VA-ECMO on LV afterload. In an elegant study, using Doppler evaluation of the descending thoracic aortic blood flow, Andrei and colleagues 16 demonstrated that in an axillary-femoral configuration, the ECMO flow and the native LV outflow were additive. In comparison, in a femoro-femoral configuration, ECMO flow and the native LV outflow were competitive.…”

“…Stefan Andrei et al of the Université Paris Sorbonne, Paris, France evaluated if the axillary and femoral arterial cannulation site may have different effects on left ventricular (LV) outflow. Seven patients with femoro‐axillary ECLS and 4 patients with femoro‐femoral ECLS were prospectively studied using the Pulse‐wave Doppler velocity time integral (VTI) in the descending thoracic aorta (DTA VTI) at different short‐time variations of ECLS flow rates during the ECLS weaning process.…”
