Bedside repositioning of a dislocated Avalon-cannula in a running veno-venous ECMO.
Journal of Artificial Organs : the Official Journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs 2017 September
We report a repositioning maneuver of a dislocated Avalon Elite dual lumen catheter during ongoing veno-venous ECMO support. The inferior tip of the catheter dislocated into a liver vein, which was accompanied by a dramatic decrease in pump flow. After standard repositioning maneuvers under transthoracic echocardiographic guidance had failed, a special guiding sheath was inserted into the main lumen through a Y-connector with a valve. Over this valve, a stiff wire could be placed into the inferior vena cava to help guiding the catheter back into the correct position.
