Cannulation of the femoral vessels is the most common access site allowing quick and easy ECMO insertion. However, several complications are described. Distal limb ischemia is one of the most frightened complications of ECMO therapy. Aim of this study is to evaluate the use of a distal limb perfusion cannula for the prevention of malperfusion.
