Case in brief
Two patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis received concomitant Rheocarna therapy. Each patient was treated with four configurations of dialyzer membranes and circuit sequences. The Rheocarna → AN69 configuration resulted in the least decrease in systolic blood pressure and better preservation of peripheral microvascular perfusion compared to other configurations, indicating improved hemodynamic stability during treatment.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
The choice of dialyzer membrane type and circuit sequence can significantly impact hemodynamic stability during concomitant Rheocarna therapy and hemodialysis in patients with CLTI.
Why it matters
Understanding the effects of different treatment configurations may help optimize patient outcomes in those receiving combined therapies for CLTI.
