During the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of patients required VA-ECMO due to associated respiratory failure. Patients undergoing VA-ECMO are at high risk of developing various vascular complications. COVID-19 significantly increases the risk of acute limb ischemia and distal perfusion catheter thrombosis in both upper and lower limbs. However, other VA-ECMO-related vascular complications are comparable between COVID-19 and non-COVID patients.
