Initial experience and outcomes with a hybrid extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and cardiopulmonary bypass circuit for lung transplantationCentral MessagePerspective

Background: The utilization of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for intraoperative support during lung transplantation has increased over the past decade. Although veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has recently emerged as the preferred modality over cardiopulmonary bypass...

description Background: The utilization of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for intraoperative support during lung transplantation has increased over the past decade. Although veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has recently emerged as the preferred modality over cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), many centers continue to use both forms of ECLS during lung transplantation. Our novel hybrid VA-ECMO/CPB circuit allows for seamless transition from VA-ECMO to CPB at a significant cost savings compared to a standalone VA-ECMO circuit. This study describes our initial experience and outcomes in the first 100 bilateral lung transplantations using this novel hybrid VA-ECMO/CPB circuit. Methods: Medical records from September 2017 to May 2021 of the first 100 consecutive patients undergoing bilateral lung transplantation with intraoperative hybrid VA-ECMO support were examined retrospectively. We excluded patients with single lung transplants, retransplantations, preoperative ECLS bridging, and veno-venous (VV) ECMO and those supported with CPB only. Perioperative recipient, anesthetic, perfusion variables, and outcomes were assessed. Results: Of the 100 patients supported with VA-ECMO, 19 were converted intraoperatively to CPB. Right ventricular dysfunction was seen in 37% of patients, and the median mean pulmonary artery pressure was 28 mm Hg. No oxygenator clotting was observed with a median heparin dose of 13,000 units in the VA-ECMO group. Primary graft dysfunction grade 3 at 72 hours was observed in 10.1% of all patients and observed 1-year mortality was 4%. Conclusions: The use of a hybrid VA-ECMO/CPB circuit in our institution allows for rapid conversion to CPB with acceptable outcomes across a diverse recipient group at a significantly reduced cost compared to standalone VA-ECMO circuits.
