Abstract
Transesophageal echocardiography identified malposition of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation venous cannula across the interatrial septum into the left atrium and the presence of a clot within the cannula's lumen. Transesophageal echocardiography also guided the withdrawal of the cannula into the inferior vena cava.
