Résumé
We describe 4 cases of spinal cord ischemia resulting in paraplegia after peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for cardiogenic shock. This is an uncommon, but possibly underreported, complication with significant irreversible long-term morbidity. While causes are likely multifactorial, it is possible that thrombosis may occur at the level of the mixing cloud due to turbulent flow. Additional studies will be needed to elucidate the true incidence of this complication and investigate whether flow dynamics may potentiate clot formation.
