Extracorporeal circulation (EC) for reanimation of refractory cardiac fibrillation during vascular surgery. The fibrillation occurred shortly after induction of anesthesia but no specific medication could be incriminated. Postoperative morbidity was significant but the patient eventually made a successful recovery. Use of EC proved lifesaving after all conventional reanimatory measures were unsuccessful.
