Tóm tắt

We report a case of compartment syndrome caused by femoral arterial cannulation during cardiopulmonary bypass. A 62-year-old man who had been diagnosed as acute aortic dissection (type I) received a operation of partial arch replacement with reconstruction of brachiocephalic and left carotid arteries. Compartment syndrome was noticed just after the operation, which was caused by long-term ischemia during femoral arterial cannulation combined with poor collateral circulation by the dissection of iliac arteries. The emergency fascitomy was performed, therefore, he could be discharged without any complications. It is concluded that in case of acute aorte aortic dissection, the back-flow of blood should be checked at the time of femoral arterial cannulation, and whenever the back-flow is poor, some procedures should be added to increase distal blood flow.
