Abstract

A technique is presented for subclavian artery cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This method allows antegrade perfusion of the carotid artery to occur both during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and after decannulation. This method may prevent neurologic sequelae associated with the more common techniques using the carotid artery.
