Description
Objective
The study objective was to compare the outcomes of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation versus cardiopulmonary bypass support in lung transplantation.
Methods
We performed a retrospective cohort study from a prospective database of adult lung transplantations performed at the University of Toronto from 2007 to 2013. Among 673 lung transplantations performed in the study period, 267 (39.7%) required cardiopulmonary support. There were 39 cases of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (2012-2013) and 228 cases of cardiopulmonary bypass (2007-2013). Patients who were bridged with extracorporeal life support, underwent a concomitant cardiac procedure, received a combined liver or heart transplant, were colonized with Burkholderia cenocepacia, or required emergency cannulation for cardiopulmonary support were excluded. Finally, 33 extracorporeal membrane …
