Abstract: A cannula includes a first segment configured to reside entirely within a vessel. The first segment includes a proximal exit opening disposed nearer to the heart, and multiple fenestrations disposed distally away from the proximal exit opening near a cannulation site. The fenestrations in combination with the proximal exit opening enable simultaneous perfusion of blood into the cannulated vessel along proximal and distal directions. During a medical procedure, blood introduced into a vessel (e.g., the femoral artery) by way of the cannula can exit the cannula in a manner that provides concurrent blood flow in a first set of directions proximally towards the heart and a second set of directions distally away from the heart. Radially displaceable anchoring elements positionable adjacent to the vessel's superficial wall aid retention of the first segment in the vessel. The fenestrations and/or anchoring elements can be arranged obliquely around portions of the cannula's circumference.

Abstract: Defining proximal as toward the heart and distal as away from the heart, a sheath includes a proximal opening and multiple fenestrations maintainable in position slightly beyond a site or point of sheath entry into a vessel by way of an anchoring assembly having a set of radially displaceable anchoring elements configured for abutting a superficial vessel wall. The fenestrations and/or anchoring element(s) are arranged obliquely or non-obliquely around peripheral portions of the sheath. The sheath can receive blood from a pumping source at a proximal opening, and channel the blood toward, to, and through the fenestrations. The fenestrations, in combination with the proximal opening, enable the perfusion of blood into the cannulated vessel in a set of distal directions for perfusing a distal tissue or organ. Flow of blood out of fenestrations directs blood distally towards the limb, head, or other distal region, mitigating the risk of or preventing ischemia.
