AngioVac
From Bay Area Structural Heart Wiki
AngioVac is a deep vein thrombosis removal system. Similar to ECMO, an external circuit is created to circulate blood through a filter. Clot is caught in the filter, and blood is returned to the body.
Access for the AngioVac cannula will generally be Right IJ or Right Femoral Vein. The return cannula will be the opposite leg vein generally.
