Central versus peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during lung transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Although survival and PGD3 incidence were comparable, pVA-ECMO was associated with greater postoperative morbidity and vascular complications. These findings should be interpreted with caution, and cannulation strategy should be individualized according to patient risk profile, surgical context, and center-specific expertise rather than favoring one approach uniformly.
