Abstract
Peripheral extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with a not negligible rate of vascular morbidity. Most vascular complications are related to limb ischaemia mainly due to insufficient limb perfusion or embolic events. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a severe epidermolysis and overflow syndrome as a result of an overperfusion phenomenon through an unknown femoral arterio-venous fistula in a patient requiring ECMO support.
