BIDIRECTIONAL ARTERIAL CANNULA FOR EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION AND METHOD FOR USING SUCH A CANNULA

摘要

The invention relates to an arterial cannula (20) for ECMO, comprising: - a main arterial cannula (22) comprising an inner wall (31) and having a first end (24) with a blood outflow port (26), the first end being intended to be introduced into an artery so as to inject the blood retrogradely into the artery, and - a retro-perfusion cannula (30) configured to be translatably movable between a retracted position in the first end of the main arterial cannula and a deployed position at least partly outside the main arterial cannula and opposite the blood outflow port of the main arterial cannula.
