Management of Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannulation-Associated Groin Wound Complications With Muscle Flaps at a High-Acuity Cardiac Referral Center
We report successful reconstruction in the majority of patients. In particular, muscle flap reconstruction is a useful technique for addressing ECMO-associated lymphocele development and recurrence. Future studies are needed to determine ideal timing of reconstruction and if early plastic surgeon involvement can reduce morbidity and mortality of these difficult to treat infections.
