Percutaneous decannulation of VA ECMO using the MANTA VCD was feasible but a substantial number of patients needed to be converted to unplanned surgical repair, owing to either closure site-located stenosis/occlusion or bleeding. If suboptimal MANTA positioning is suspected, a low threshold for conversion to surgical cutdown of the groin is recommended.
