This is a very informative lecture. I am a cath lab nurse and am always looking to expand my knowledge on MCS

Great lecture as usual sir! A small comment regarding distal limb perfusion one thing that can be done is first to stick the CFA in ategrade fashion and place a 6Fr 23 cm sheath from the CFA into the SFA, then puncture the same CFA in retrograde fashion to place ur impella sheath or ECMO cannula. That way you can easily achieve hemostasis on the antegrade limb when its time to decannulate. Thank you so much again!
