ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Venovenous (VV) ECMO is rarely used during decompensated circulatory states. Although VA ECMO is the routine option, VV ECMO may be an option in selected patients. We present a case of pulmonary edema due to acute heart failure in a patient 4- and 12-year post-lung transplantation who received VV ECMO. Using a thoughtful cannulation strategy, VV ECMO, and aggressive ultrafiltration, the patient was successfully decannulated, extubated, and discharged from the hospital. In cardiogenic pulmonary edema, VV ECMO represents an additional, and likely under-utilized tool, especially in patients who are at high risk for ventilator-associated lung injury. Cannula location and size should be given additional consideration to potentially transition to V-AV ECMO configuration if necessary.
