OPEN CLINICAL STUDY (France): Modeling of Intracerebral Vascularization After ECMO

Extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a transient supplementation technique that alleviates hemodynamic and ventilatory failure. Its implementation requires carotid arterial and jugular venous cannulation in newborns or children weighing less than 20 kg. The impact of ECMO on arterial circulation was studied by Doppler ultrasound and shows a redistribution of flows within the Circle of Willis.

This study aims to model cerebral flow in children who have been cared from jugulo-carotid ECMO and compare cerebral hemodynamics according to the technique of reconstruction of the common carotid artery after decannulation (reconstruction or ligation).
