| Core Tip |
Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a major complication of femoral veno arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO), driven primarily by impaired distal arterial flow and systemic vasoconstriction. Distal perfusion catheters (DPC) are the most commonly used preventive strategy, though optimal device choice, technique, and timing remain uncertain. Early monitoring with near infrared spectroscopy and emerging tools such as bidirectional cannulas and artificial intelligence-based prediction models may further reduce risk. This review synthesizes current evidence on ALI in peripheral VA-ECMO and provides clear pictorial depictions of the pathophysiology, available methods, and contemporary techniques for DPC placement and practical monitoring. |
