Real-time ultrasound-guided bedside closure of arteriotomy wound using MANTA closure device during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation.

ABSTRACT

Percutaneous closure of arteriotomy wound during peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation was shown to be safe and allow earlier mobilization. The new MantaTM vascular closure device (Essential Medical), designed for the closure of arterotomy wound created by large-bore vascular sheaths up to 25Fr during endovascular catheterization procedures, was reported to be applicable in venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation. In this article, we would like to share our experience of using real-time ultrasound guidance to ensure the safe application of Manta during bedside venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decannulation.
