Ius F, Aburahma K, Boethig D, et al. - Researchers sought to inscribe their experience using intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in isolated lung transplantation and examine its influence on long-term graft function and survival. From January 2010 to June 2019, 1,161 patients underwent isolated lung transplantation with or without ECMO support . Among these cases, 311 (27%) received intraoperative ECMO, with further 24 patients (2%) requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Per observations, ECMO recipients endured a more complicated peri- and early postoperative course when compared with cases not requiring cardiopulmonary support. However, there were no differences in long-term complications or outcomes among those surviving to hospital discharge.
