On MANTA Vascular Closure Devices Following Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Effectiveness and Complications
The article explores the safety and effectiveness of the MANTA vascular closure device for managing large-bore arteriotomy, particularly post-decannulation in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients. Findings suggest the MANTA device reduces vascular complications and offers a viable, low-risk option for critically ill patients, though further high-powered studies are needed to confirm superiority over other closure methods.
