Deep Vein Thrombosis in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Bridged Lung Transplant Recipients

Venous thromboembolic events in the setting of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in adults: A systematic review

“…Interestingly, majority of DVT episodes originated in the upper extremities. Shtraichman et al noted similar findings where the incidence of UE DVT was 63.6% while LE DVT was 26.4% [26]. Of the fewer DVTs originating in the lower extremities, DVT was pinpointed to originating below the knee in most cases.…”

Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism in Adults Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Systematic Review

“…After removal of duplicates, 3063 studies were screened for inclusion, and 49 qualified for detailed full-text review. Of these, 18 were found to satisfy all inclusion and exclusion criteria [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] : ten were full text 12,15,[17][18][19][20][21][22]24,28 and eight were abstra cts. 11,13,14,16,23,[25][26][27] The PRISMA flow diagram and reasons for exclusion are presented in Figure 1.…”

The Ghosts of Cannulae Past

“…One common postdecannulation finding is cannula-associated deep vein thrombosis and cannula-associated fibrin sheaths. [7][8][9] Cannula-associated deep vein thrombosis is different from cannula-associated fibrin sheath and clinically is a more relevant finding due to the risk of embolization likely being much higher than with fibrin sheaths. Fibrin casts are not unique to ECMO cannulae and can be associated with the routine placement of central lines, with implanted cardiac devices (and subsequently noted after removal), and with larger-bore interventional radiology-associated catheters.…”
