Inferior vena cava thrombosis in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case series and literature review
Factors such as elevated CRP and PCT levels, low aPTT levels, and the use of VA ECMO may contribute to the development of ECMO-related IVC thrombosis. Monitoring of anticoagulation with aPTT alone or in combination with ACT during ECMO may have inherent limitations. Anticoagulation alone may be an effective treatment for IVC thrombosis.
