“…Historically full CPB support was instituted via femoral venous and arterial catheters placed under local anesthesia (14). More recently, VV-ECMO support has been reported for endotracheal tumor resection (15,16), dislodged stents (15,17), foreign body removal (18), control of hemoptysis (19), debridement of papillomatosis (20) and relief of external compression (15,21,22) in adults. A variety of cannulation strategies have been reported: femoral and jugular single lumen catheters (15,18,20) and bi-caval dual lumen catheter in the right jugular vein (16,22) have been described.…”
