Abstract

The authors report a case of acute limb ischemia in a 19 years old patient seen at 9 hours of the injury. They describe a technique of "washing-reperfusion" by a cardio-pulmonary limb bypass (CPLB). Blood pH and kaliema measurements during CPLB were noted. The good clinical result except on the initial nerves deficit, should lead to think that this technique could take a place in the treatment of acute limb ischemia seen lately.
