Abstract

Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) is widely used as an emergent support device for the heart and lung failure. PCPS has a closed circuit system with a centrifugal pump and a small artificial lung, introduced by inserting a thin-wall cannula percutaneously. Its clinical results have been improved, mainly due to the development of medical technology.
