Central Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Bridging of Right-Sided Heart Failure to Lung Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience and Literature Review

摘要

Objective: Right-sided heart failure develops in lung transplantation candidates on prolonged peripheral extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and is a major determinant of mortality. The use of central venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for bridging of right-sided heart failure to lung transplantation was evaluated.
