Prevention of Lower Extremity Ischemia During Cardiopulmonary Bypass via Femoral Cannulation

University of Massachusetts Medical Center, Worcester, Massachusetts

Accepted for publication July 30, 1996.

Prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass requiring femoral arterial cannulation may lead to ipsilateral leg ischemia. A technique described of femoral cannulation via an end-to-side femoral artery graft allows distal femoral perfusion and eliminates the complication of leg ischemia.
