ECMO: Limb loss

A patient in cardiogenic
shock required

Extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO) with
insertion of the arterial

component via the left
femoral artery.

Cold and blue foot with fixed
staining indicating a non-
viable right lower limb

A reperfusion catheter directing

flow to the leg via the Superficial
femoral artery can avoid this
complication
