A two-circuit strategy for intraoperative extracorporeal support during single lung transplantation in a patient bridged with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is increasingly used as a bridging strategy in decompensating patients awaiting lung transplantation. Various approaches for continuing support intraoperatively have been previously described. A two-circuit strategy that uses the in situ venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit supplemented with peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass allows for diversion of native cardiac output away from the transplanted lung as well as seamless continuation of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation postoperatively.
