Use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Lung Cancer-Related Massive Hemoptysis: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
This case report describes a patient with squamous cell carcinoma who developed catastrophic hemoptysis and successfully underwent right pneumonectomy under venovenous ECMO support, followed by uneventful recovery and discharge. We show that VV‐ECMO can rapidly restore oxygenation and serve as a bridge to salvage surgery when BAE fails in asphyxiating ...
