title: Imaging of a carotid aneurysm in two patients following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy.
abstract: Following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), two patients subsequently developed carotid aneurysms at the site of cannulation. Given the invasive nature of ECMO, vascular ultrasound and/or computerized tomographic imaging should be considered to rule out cannulation-site complications post-ECMO.
