Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Following Lung
TransplantationLung transplantation is well established procedure.
Is the only acceptable option in selected
patients with end-stage pulmonary disease refractory to max. medical treatment.
According to ISHLT and international registry 23,716 lung transplantation were performed worldwide as of 2006.
Overall mortality following lung transplant is still notable, with one year survival is 80%.
How many transplant recipients require ECMO?
Primary graft failure
Bridge for re-do lung transplant.
Answer
Handful- Very small series spread over the last 3 decades.
1975-1st case of ECMO used as a bridge to lung transplant was performed
1991 Hannover group published the first report of long-term survival after using ECMO as bridge to re-do lung transplant
1992- Hannover group reported the first long term (12 months) survivor after using ECMO as bridge to primary lung transplant.
Indications
Severe Allograft Failure
Bridge to bridge
Bridge to transplantation
Primary Allograft Failure
Criteria/ ISHLT:Diffuse alveolar opacities exclusively involving allograft, developing within 72 hours after lung transplantation
PaO2 / FIO2 ratio < 200 beyond 48 hours post transplantNo other cause of graft failure identified such as rejection, infection or pulmonary venous obstruction
Primary Graft Failure
10-30% of transplant recipients develop primary graft failure
ECMO may provide lifesaving temporary support
ECMO long-term efficacy is controversial
ECMO goals:Maintain adequate oxygenation and ventilationDecrease pulmonary artery pressure, to decrease trans-capillary gradients in pulmonary vasculatureReduce rate and tidal volume of mechanical ventilation, to limit ventilator-induce lung injury
Selective Use of ECMO After Lung Transplant
Meyers et al –Washington University conducted a retrospective study on:
444 adult lung transplant -(1988-1998)
12 patients (2.7%) require ECMO support for severe graft failure

Conclusion: This data do not offer adequate information to assess ECMO risk factors.
Clinical Risks Factors Associated with Graft Failure After Lung
TransplantChristie et al conducted cohort study on 255 consecutive lung transplants between 1991-2000
Overall incidence of graft failure after transplant was 11.8%
Multivariate analysis shows the risk factors associated with the development of graft failure were: primary pulmonary HTN, female gender, donor age < 21 yrs > 45 yrs
Long-term Survival of Transplant recipients After
ECMO use for PGF Bermudez et al conducted a study on:
763 lung or heart-lung transplant
58 patients (7.6%) required early [0-7 days after transplant] ECMO support for PGF
Mean duration of support was 5.5 days
Mean follow-up was 4.5 years
Results
Results
30 days survival was 80%
1 year survival was 39%
5 years survival was 33%
Conclusion: ECMO group survival is inferior to non ECMO group
Conclusions:Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can provide acceptable support for PGF after lung transplantation.Overall benefits of ECMO in lung transplantation for PGF is still being defined. No registry exist that specifically collect ECMO data in the field of lung transplantation.
