Abstract
Perfusion systems and methods are provided for increasing peripheral blood flow to reduce limb ischemia, in which an extracorporeal pump having a controller, and catheter/tubing set, employed alone or in conjunction with an interventional or circulatory assist device, withdraws blood from a patient's vasculature and reintroduces that blood at another location within the patient's vasculature at a controlled local pressure or flow rate, without interfering with operation of the interventional or circulatory assist device or surgical intervention.
