Abstract Although current studies support the use of prophylactic distal perfusion catheters (DPCs) to decrease limb ischemia in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO), methods for monitoring limb..

Abstract Objective: Femoral artery cannulation is the most commonly used approach for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in robotic cardiac procedures. However, without adding a distal perfusion cannula, leg ischemia can occur..

Abstract Objective: Lower-limb ischemia is a complication of minimally invasive cardiac surgery with femoral cannulation. Herein, we verified our strategy using distal perfusion cannulation (DPC) against this complication. Methods: We..

Abstract Prevention of limb ischemia in patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is primarily achieved through the use of distal perfusion catheters (DPC). Our objective was to assess the..

Abstract Diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia face a high rate of limb amputation. Regeneration of the vasculature and skeletal muscles can salvage diseased limbs. Therapy using stem cell-derived exosomes..

Abstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides cardiovascular and respiratory support for patients in cardiogenic shock; yet, complications are a frequent source of morbidity and mortality. Limb ischemia can be..

Abstract BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a tremendous impact on the respiratory tract. In severe COVID-19 infections, patients may experience shock and multiple organ failure. We described 4 cases of..

Abstract Purpose Percutaneous cannulation is increasingly used for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). However, there is limited evidence about the benefit of this approach compared with conventional surgical cannulation. By..

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ipsilateral lower extremity (ILE) outcomes of patients who underwent bedside angiography via the distal perfusion catheter while on femoral..

Abstract Background: Patients requiring V-A ECMO who receive femoral cannulation have an associated risk of distal, lower-limb hypoperfusion and ischemia of the cannulated leg. This pilot study evaluated the usefulness..

Abstract Femoral arterial cannulation in adult venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) predisposes patients to ipsilateral limb ischemia. Placement of a distal perfusion catheter (DPC) is one of few techniques available..
