Use of cryopreserved aortic homograft for subclavian arterial cannulation during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a vital tool in the treatment of patients with severe cardiovascular failure during heart surgery. The femoral artery is the most common access for veno-arterial ECMO in adults. Where there are contraindications to traditional cannulation techniques, the subclavian artery is an alternative access site, despite its many peculiarities. This paper presents a clinical case where peripheral ECMO connection with cannulation into the subclavian artery using a cryopreserved homovital abdominal aortic homograft was performed in a patient.
