Endovascular Management for Accidental Cannulation of the Left Ascending Lumbar Vein with an Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Catheter: A Case Report
The femoral vein is frequently used for central venous access during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Accidental cannulation of the ascending lumbar vein (ALV) during ECMO has rarely been reported. Hemorrhage related to venous rupture, or solid organ injury can occur depending on the c...

| description | The femoral vein is frequently used for central venous access during extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO). Accidental cannulation of the ascending lumbar vein (ALV) during
ECMO has rarely been reported. Hemorrhage related to venous rupture, or solid organ
injury can occur depending on the course of the large-bore catheter. Ultrasonographic or
fluoroscopic guidance helps ensure correct placement. Nevertheless, if accidental cannulation
occurs, endovascular management can be considered a treatment option. We present
the case of a 78-year-old man with an ECMO catheter malpositioned through the left ALV,
which was removed with tract embolization. |
