OBJECTIVE: We describe a simple technique to prevent the lower limb ischemia during femoral veno-arterial cardiopulmonary support (CPS). PATIENTS: Between July 1994 and September 1995, five patients underwent the insertion of femoral veno-arterial CPS with distal limb perfusion for the treatment of circulatory collapse after cardiac surgery. METHODS: After CPS is established, the ipsilateral superficial femoral artery (SFA) is punctured downward with a 14-gauge Teflon catheter and connected to the side port of the membrane oxygenator. RESULTS: None of the patients were complicated by lower limb ischemia for up to 77 hrs on CPS with distal limb perfusion. CONCLUSIONS: Active perfusion through a 14-gauge Teflon catheter downstream to the ipsilateral SFA is effective in preventing lower limb ischemia during prolonged femoral veno-arterial CPS after cardiac surgery. |
