Bridging the Gap: A Comparative Analysis of Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation or ECMO as a Bridge to Lung Transplant Between Eras
Rates of ECMO-bridge to transplant increased in the CAS era compared to the LAS era. Although the donor lung travel distances were longer, perioperative outcomes were comparable to those of the LAS era. Long-term outcomes of BTT candidates in the CAS era remain to be seen.
