Outcomes of venovenous-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridging in lung transplant recipients with panel reactive antibody positivity
Post-transplant outcomes and survival were similar between cPRA-positive and -negative groups, suggesting that PRA status in VV-ECMO bridged lung transplant recipients is not associated with worse outcomes. VV-ECMO may remain a viable bridge to lung transplantation, even in sensitized patients.
