ABSTRACT
@#Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a modality of extracorporeal life support that allows for temporary support in pulmonary and/or cardiac failure refractory to conventional therapy.[1] ECMO use has been exponentially increasing over the last decade and is now considered a mainstream lifesaving treatment modality in critical care medicine. Many studies report ECMO use in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome refractory to conventional clinical support, in-hospital cardiac arrest, and cardiogenic refractory shock.[1⇓-3] Herein, we report the use of veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) in the first successful combined lung-liver transplantation (CLLT) patient in China.
