[A case of myonephropathic metabolic syndrome treated with limb washout using a roller pump and cell saver].
We operated on a 65 year old male for the saddle embolism presenting the signs of MNMS. Before the reperfusion of the ischemic limbs which were successfully embolectomized with the use of Fogarty catheter, we performed limb washout using roller pump and cell saver. The washout was done in the high flow and large volume by the roller pump. The red blood cells in the efflux were saved using cell saver and retransfused to the patient. The patient recovered without deterioration of MNMS. The limb washout was effective for the prevention of the deterioration of MNMS.
