Role Of Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation In Left Ventricular Conditioning After Lung Transplantation, Emily A. Ingebretson
Role Of Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation In Left Ventricular Conditioning After Lung Transplantation, Emily A. Ingebretson
Journal of Shock and Hemodynamics
End-stage pulmonary hypertension alters intracardiac pressures, leading to distention and failure of the right ventricle, leftward shifting of the intraventricular septum, and, thus, underfilling of the left ventricle (LV). Following the resolution of severely elevated pulmonary vascular resistance with bilateral lung transplantation, the LV is exposed to relatively high filling pressures from a potentially hypertrophic right ventricle pushing blood through normalized pulmonary vascular resistance. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) may be a valuable tool to provide a more gradual exposure of the LV to the newly available preload in the immediate postoperative phase of transplantation, thereby reducing the likelihood …

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic impacts pulmonary cancer management since it shares similar clinical features and creates fear among patients to visit hospitals due to possible in-hospital disease transmission. We report a patient who presented with a rare case of a pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor with an ocular involvement, which, unfortunately, experienced a delay in diagnostics. The first hospitalization was due to superior vena cava syndrome, pleural and pericardial effusions, and swollen left eye. The patient was diagnosed with pulmonary cancer, released after the symptoms were relieved, and expected to visit a referral hospital for further diagnostics and treatments. The …
