We describe the clinical course of an infant with respiratory failure who underwent lung biopsy prior to cannulation for undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Pathology revealed alveolar capillary dysplasia, and ECMO was discontinued. Rapid diagnosis allowed for closure and saved resources. We recommend considering early biopsy in infants with atypical pulmonary hypertension.
