Where is the temporary bridging catheter typically placed?
59% of the clinical trial patients had a femoral catheter due to presence of pacemaker leads, defibrillator leads or stenotic vessels in the chest. It is preferable to place HeRO in one side of the chest and the tunneled cuff catheter contra laterally. Femoral catheters may carry a higher risk of infection, but can be used if necessary during the maturation period.
