Percutaneous Versus Surgical Cannulation for Femoro‐Femoral Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Retrospective Cohort Study on Cannulation‐Related Complications

Percutaneous cannulation was associated with significantly fewer patients experiencing site bleeding and infection compared to surgical cannulation. Limb ischemia was not associated with the cannulation technique but was influenced by two other modifiable factors at cannulation: distal perfusion catheterization and arterial cannula size.
