Femoro-popliteal bypass with arterial perfusion cannula coupling of the VA-ECMO system to the prosthetic anastomosis in critical limb ischemia secondary to veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case report
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) secondary to femoral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a recognized and morbid complication, with an incidence reaching 25.4% when prophylactic distal perfusion catheter (DPC) placement is omitted at cannulation. We report the case of a 77-year-old male [height...
