서론 체외순환막형산화요법(extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) 은 전격성 심근염, 급성 관상동맥 증후군을 포함한 다양한 심인 성 쇼크 환자에 있어서 심폐소생술을 시행해야 할 경우, 심장의 부하를 줄이고, 혈역학적 징후를 안정시키기 위해 대동맥 내 풍 선펌프와 더불어 사용되는 대표적인 기계적 순환보조요법이다 (1-3). 최근에는 체외순환막형산화장치의 삽입이 침상 옆에서 단시간 내에 시행될 수 있도록 삽관 절차가 간편해져서 소요 시 간도 단축되고 있다(4, 5). 이러한 체외순환막형산화요법에 쓰 는 온넙다리동맥 도관은 그 직경이 매우 커서 다리로 가는 혈류 를 완전히 막을 수 있는 위험을 가지고 있으며(6, 7), 최근 발표 된 메타 분석 연구에서는 온넙다리동맥에 도관을 넣은 환자 중 다리 허혈이 발생하는 비율을 16.9%로 보고하여(8), 여전히 그 위험성이 감소하지 않고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 이 도관에 의해 다리 관류가 저하되면 연조직의 허혈과

We evaluated the safety and clinical efficacy of percutaneous distal perfusion catheterization in preventing limb ischemia. Materials and Methods: Between March 2013 and February 2015, 28 patients with distal perfusion catheterization after ECMO were included in this retrospective study. The technical success was evaluated by Doppler ultrasound at the popliteal level after saline injection via distal perfusion catheter. Clinical success was assessed when at least one of the following conditions was met: restoration of continuous peripheral limb oximetry value or presence of distal arterial pulse on Doppler ultrasound evaluation or resolution of early ischemic sign after connecting the catheter with ECMO. Results: Twenty-six patients with early ischemia were successfully cannulated with a distal perfusion catheter (92.8%). Clinical success was achieved in 12/28 (42.8%) patients; 8/10 (80.0%) patients with survival duration exceeding 7 days and 4/18 (22.2%) patients with survival duration less than 7 days, respectively. Conclusion: A percutaneous distal perfusion catheter placement was a feasible tool with safety and efficacy in preventing lower limb ischemia for patients with prolonged common femoral arterial cannulation for ECMO.
