...In patients on VA ECMO, a venous return cannula can be added to the circuit either via the right internal jugular vein or the femoral veins, allowing for the return of oxygenated blood to the right circulatory system and can be helpful in the setting of harlequin syndrome.(4) Access and positioning of the cannula is no different from positioning a venous return cannula in a patient supported on isolated VV ECMO, or an arterial return cannula in a patient support on isolated VA ECMO, respectively (Figure 1)....

...Although throttle valves can allow for precise adjustment of flow distribution, they can lead to turbulent flow and have potential for hemolysis in the long term.(4,6,10,13) Without a throttle valve, if a larger venous cannula is used compared with an arterial cannula, flows will consistently be greater in venous compared with arterial return up to 7 L/min total flow....

...addition of a venous return cannula.(4,5) In both cases, there is one venous drainage cannula and the return is split between a venous and arterial return, resulting in veno-arteriovenous (V-AV) ECMO....
