When patients with severe respiratory failure are treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), severe pulmonary hypertension due to right ventricular (RV) failure is possible. This is a serious complication that requires immediate therapeutic intervention. We report an extraordinary experience of additional venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) sup...

OBJECTIVE Respiratory failure develops in many patients on lung transplant waiting lists before a suitable donor organ becomes available. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may be used to bridge such patients to recovery or lung transplantation. METHODS This is a review of a single-institution's experience with placing patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with the intention of bri...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to lung transplantation.
Idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH) is a progressive disease with a dismal prognosis and lung transplantation is often the only option for patients, who do not respond to pharmacological therapy. We report the use of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system in a 49-year-old woman with primary pulmonary hypertension, previously liver transplanted. The patient, listed for ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly during an acute decompensation. We describe a single-center experience of three patients with severe Group 1 PAH, refractory to targeted medical therapy, in which an extubated, nonsedated, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) strategy with an upper-body configuration was used as a bri...
