As extracorporeal membrane oxygenation systems become miniaturized, their role for rapid implementation, as an adjunct to resuscitation and high-risk percutaneous interventions, grows. We describe a percutaneous approach to short term mechanical circulatory support, in the setting of cardiogenic shock, which employs a percutaneous, self-contained, distal limb perfusion system. We feel that this technique is highly important for both interventional cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons as well.
