Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for performing transseptal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are disclosed. The method may include puncturing a septum between the right atrium and the left atrium and advancing a catheter system through the puncture and into the aorta. The catheter system may include coaxially arranged and independently moveable venous and arterial sheaths having independently positionable openings for removing blood from the patient and for returning oxygenated blood to the patient, e.g., within the aorta.
