Case series demonstrates feasible and safe closure technique for ECMO decannulation, suggesting future utility in critical care.
This preliminary case series suggests that the parallel percutaneous closure technique is feasible and potentially safe for large-bore femoral decannulation following VA-ECMO. Its bedside application under local anesthesia and low rate of early complications support its utility in critical care. Further studies comparing closure configurations and evaluating long-term outcomes are warranted.
