In four major ELSO studies, carotid use ranged from 45% to 94% among children over 5 years of age. Neurologic complication rates varied widely, from 7% to 23%, with some studies linking carotid access to higher risk of CNS injury, while others found no significant difference. Femoral cannulation, although theoretically safer neurologically, carried notable risks of limb ischemia\u2014reported between 7.5% and 20%\u2014and potential need for vascular interventions or amputations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review highlights the lack of standardized practice and the influence of local expertise, anatomical variability, and data limitations. It also underscores the need for clearer definitions and better reporting in future studies. While carotid cannulation remains prevalent across age groups, growing evidence of limb complications with femoral access invites reconsideration of the \u201ctransition point\u201d in pediatric ECMO cannulation strategies. Until more definitive data emerge, individualized decision-making guided by patient characteristics and institutional experience remains essential.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02676591251407295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]],"date-time":"2025-12-08T12:12:13Z","timestamp":1765195933000},"page":"1087-1096","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Peripheral veno-arterial ECMO cannulation in children: Review of the relevant ELSO publications"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9774-3525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jana","family":"Assy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital of Liege"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0051-8080","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matteo","family":"Di Nardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3850-8769","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Issam","family":"El Rassi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Al Jalila Children's Hospital, Dubai, Dubai"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","first-page":"47","volume-title":"Extracorporeal Life Support: The ELSO Red Book","author":"Peek G","year":"2022","unstructured":"Peek G, Chavez I, Hackmann AE, et al.
