Dr. Stephan Ariyan - Plastic Surgeon, Connecticut


    Isolated Limb Perfusions

    		 Special Programs - Plastic Surgery

     
    Many cancers that recur in the upper or lower extremities often require treatment with the amputation of the affected arm or leg. This leads to significant disability. One of the limb-sparing treatments requires a highly special surgical procedure to perfuse the arm or leg with a single very high dose of chemotherapy while the extremity is "isolated" from the rest of the body with a cardiac pump oxygenator. This permits the treatment to be performed with safety by preventing the high doses of the drug from entering the rest of the circulation of the body. In this fashion, the recurrent cancer can be treated, and the arm or leg can be preserved for normal function. Thus, the patient can be treated with a single course of chemotherapy, with a short hospital stay, and an early return to work. This technique is available through Dr. Ariyan's office, and has been the only available source for the greater part of the New England region for the past 20 years.
