Successful Revascularization with Intraoperative Venous Drainage of Ischemic Limbs Through Hemodialysis in Severe Acute Saddle Aortic Embolism

We report a successful treatment in a patient with acute saddle aortic embolism by the intraoperative venous drainage of severely ischemic lower limbs through hemodialysis during the surgical embolectomy. The procedure provided the stability of hemodynamic status, the effective equilibration of metabolic disturbance and the minimal organ dysfunction in the management of this lethal problem.
