Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to transplant in severe pulmonary hypertension
Lung transplant survival outcomes are not affected by ECMO bridging in patients with severe PH. It does, however, expose patients to additional risk, and efforts such as easy-to-measure parameters to pre-emptively identify patients requiring bridging to assist with effective allocation should be encouraged.
