Imaging of a Carotid Aneurysm in Two Patients Following Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Therapy

Following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), two patients subsequently developed carotid aneurysms at the site of cannulation. Given the invasive nature of ECMO, vascular ultrasound and/or computerized tomographic imaging should be considered to rule out cannulation-site complications post-...

Summary:Following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), two patients subsequently developed carotid aneurysms at the site of cannulation. Given the invasive nature of ECMO, vascular ultrasound and/or computerized tomographic imaging should be considered to rule out cannulation-site complications post-ECMO.
