Cannula associated deep vein thromboses in COVID-19 patients supported with VV ECMO

CONCLUSION: Given the high number of post-decannulation CaDVT in both groups, routine screening should be a part of post ECMO care in both populations. Repeat venous duplex ultrasound should be performed to assess for the need for ongoing treatment given the high incidence of CaDVT that persisted on repeat duplex scans.PMID:38166433 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231220114
