  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

PCPS (percutaneous cardiopulmonary system) has been widely used in cases of severe heart failure. This case report describes two cases of lethal misplacement of femoral PCPS catheters after cardiovascular surgery.The two patients, who both suffered LOS (low output syndrome) after cardiovascular surgery, had femoral PCPS catheters inserted, but died from peritoneal hem-orrhage due to misplacement of the catheters. It was found at autopsy that the respective causes of death were perforation of the inferior vena cava and trau-matic rupture of the left femoral vein (due in both cases to poor insertion of the PCPS catheters). In both casesthe left femoral vein had been used for blood inflow. When we use PCPS in emergency situations, it is neces-sary to take great care to avoid a lethal misplacement of femoral catheters.
