Abstract
Objective Open decannulation from femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) carries high risk of morbidity, including groin wound infection. This study evaluated the impact of percutaneous decannulation on rates of groin wound infection in patients decannulated from femoral VA-ECMO. Methods Between January 1, 2022, and April 30, 2023, 47 consecutive patients received percutaneous femoral VA-ECMO and survived to decannulation. A percutaneous suture-mediated closure device was used for decannulation in patients with relatively smaller arterial cannulas. Patients with larger arterial cannulas or unsuccessful percutaneous closures underwent surgical cutdown and repair of the femoral artery. The primary outcome was arterial site wound infection following decannulation. Results Among the 47 patients who survived to decannulation from VA-ECMO, 21 underwent percutaneous decannulation and 27 underwent surgical cutdown. One patient underwent 2 VA-ECMO runs, one with percutaneous decannulation and one with surgical cutdown. Percutaneous decannulation was attempted in 22 patients, with 21 of 22 (95.5%) success rate. Decannulation procedure length was significantly shorter in the percutaneous group (79 minutes vs 148 minutes, P = .0001). The percutaneous group had significantly reduced rates of groin wound complications (0% vs 40.7%, P = .001) and groin wound infections (0% vs 22.2%, P = .03) when compared with the surgical cutdown group. Three patients (14.3%) in the percutaneous group experienced vascular complications, including pseudoaneurysm at the distal perfusion catheter site and nonocclusive thrombus of the common femoral artery. Conclusions Percutaneous decannulation may reduce decannulation procedure length and rate of groin wound infection in patients who survive to decannulation from VA-ECMO.

Abstract
Background: In lung transplantation surgery, extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is essential for safety. Various support methods, including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and off-pump techniques, are used, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) gaining prominence. However, consensus on the best support strategy is lacking.Purpose: This article reviews risks, benefits, and outcomes of different support strategies in lung transplantation. By consolidating knowledge, it aims to clarify selecting the most appropriate ECLS modality.Research Design: A comprehensive literature review examined CPB, off-pump techniques, and ECMO outcomes in lung transplantation, including surgical results and complications.Study Sample: Studies, including clinical trials and observational research, focused on ECLS in lung transplantation, both retrospective and prospective, providing a broad evidence base.Data Collection and/or Analysis: Selected studies were analyzed for surgical outcomes, complications, and survival rates associated with CPB, off-pump techniques, and ECMO to assess safety and effectiveness.Results: Off-pump techniques are preferred, with ECMO increasingly vital as a bridge to transplant, overshadowing CPB. However, ECMO entails hidden risks and higher costs. While safer than CPB, optimizing ECMO postoperative use and monitoring is crucial for success.Conclusions: Off-pump techniques are standard, but ECMO's role is expanding. Despite advantages, careful ECMO management is crucial due to hidden risks and costs. Future research should focus on refining ECMO use and monitoring to improve outcomes, emphasizing individualized approaches for LT recipients.

Abstract
The use of intraoperative mechanical support during lung transplantation has traditionally been a controversial topic. Trends for intraoperative mechanical support strategies swing like a pendulum. Historically, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was the modality of choice during transplantation. It provides full hemodynamic support including oxygenation and decarboxylation. Surgical exposure is improved by permitting the drainage of the heart and provides more permissive retraction. CPBs contain drainage reservoirs with hand-held pump suction catheters promoting blood conservation through collection and re-circulation. But CPB has its disadvantages. It is known to cause systemic inflammation and coagulopathy. CPB requires high doses of heparinization, which increases bleeding risks. As transplantation progressed, off-pump transplantation began to trend as a preferable option. ECMO, however, has many of the benefits of CPB with less of the risk. Outcomes were improved with ECMO compared to CPB. CPB has a higher blood transfusion requirement, a higher need for post-operative ECMO support, a higher re-intubation rate, high rates of kidney injury and need for hemodialysis, longer ICU stays, higher incidences of PGD grade 3, as well as overall in-hospital mortality when compared with ECMO use. The focus now shifts to using intraoperative mechanical support to protect the graft, helping to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury and allowing for lung protective ventilator settings. Studies show that the routine use of ECMO during transplantation decreases the rate of primary graft dysfunction and many adverse outcomes including ventilator time, need for tracheostomy, renal failure, post-operative ECMO requirements, and others. As intraoperative planned ECMO is considered a safe and effective approach, with improved survival and better overall outcomes compared to both unplanned ECMO implementation and off-pump transplantation, its routine use should be taken into consideration as standard protocol.

The hemodynamic interplay between pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury and right ventricular function in lung transplantation: a translational porcine model. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2023; 325:L675-L688.

Abstract
Lung transplantation (LTx) is a challenging procedure. Following the process of ischemia-reperfusion injury, the transplanted pulmonary graft might become severely damaged, resulting in primary graft dysfunction. In addition, during the intraoperative window, the right ventricle (RV) is at risk of acute failure. The interaction of right ventricular function with lung injury is, however, poorly understood. We aimed to address this interaction in a translational porcine model of pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury. Advanced pulmonary and hemodynamic assessment was used, including right ventricular pressure-volume loop analysis. The acute model was based on clamping and unclamping of the left lung hilus, respecting the different hemodynamic phases of a clinical lung transplantation. We found that forcing entire right ventricular cardiac output through a lung suffering from ischemia-reperfusion injury increased afterload (pulmonary vascular resistance from baseline to end experiment P < 0.0001) and induced right ventricular failure (RVF) in 5/9 animals. Notably, we identified different compensation patterns in failing versus nonfailing ventricles (arterial elastance P = 0.0008; stroke volume P < 0.0001). Furthermore, increased vascular pressure and flow produced by the right ventricle resulted in higher pulmonary injury, as measured by ex vivo CT density (correlation: pressure r = 0.8; flow r = 0.85). Finally, RV ischemia as measured by troponin-T was negatively correlated with pulmonary injury (r = -0.76); however, troponin-T values did not determine RVF in all animals. In conclusion, we demonstrate a delicate balance between development of pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury and right ventricular function during lung transplantation. Furthermore, we provide a physiological basis for potential benefit of extracorporeal life support technology.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In contrast to the abundant literature of mechanical pulmonary artery clamping to increase right ventricular afterload, we developed a model adding a biological factor of pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury. We did not only focus on the right ventricular behavior, but also on the interaction with the injured lung. We are the first to describe this interaction while addressing the hemodynamic intraoperative phases of clinical lung transplantation.

Cannulation-related adverse events of peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in heart transplantation: Axillary versus femoral artery cannulation. Clin Transplant 2023; 37:e14871. [PMID: 36468757 DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In heart transplantation (HT), peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is utilized preoperatively as a direct bridge to HT or postoperatively for primary graft dysfunction (PGD). Little is known about wound complications of an arterial VA-ECMO cannulation site which can be fatal. METHODS From 2009 to 2021, outcomes of 80 HT recipients who were supported with peripheral VA-ECMO either preoperatively or postoperatively were compared based on the site of arterial cannulation: axillary (AX: N = 49) versus femoral artery (FA: N = 31). RESULTS Patients in the AX group were older (AX: 59 years vs. 52 years, p = .006), and less likely to have extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (0% vs. 12.9%, p = .040). Survival to discharge (AX, 81.6% vs. FA. 90.3%, p = .460), incidence of stroke (10.2% vs. 6.5%, p = .863), VA-ECMO cannulation-related bleeding (6.1% vs. 12.9%, p = .522), and arm or limb ischemia (0% vs. 3.2%, p = .816) were comparable. ECMO cannulation-related wound complications were lower in the AX group (AX, 4.1% vs. FA, 45.2%, p < .001) including the wound infections (2.0% vs. 32.3%, p < .001). In FA group, all organisms were gram-negative species. In univariate logistic regression analysis, AX cannulation was associated with less ECMO cannulation-related wound complications (Odds ratio, .23, p < .001). There was no difference between cutdown and percutaneous FA insertion regarding cannulation-related complications. CONCLUSIONS Given the lower rate of wound complications and comparable hospital outcomes with femoral cannulation, axillary VA-ECMO may be an excellent option in HT candidates or recipients when possible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in lung transplantation has been steadily increasing over the prior decade, with evolving strategies for incorporating support in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative settings. There is significant practice variability in the use of these techniques, however, and relatively limited data to help establish institutional protocols. The objective of the AATS Clinical Practice Standards Committee (CPSC) expert panel was to review the existing literature and establish recommendations about the use of MCS before, during, and after lung transplantation. METHODS The AATS CPSC assembled an expert panel of 16 lung transplantation physicians who developed a consensus document of recommendations. The panel was broken into subgroups focused on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative support, and each subgroup performed a focused literature review. These subgroups formulated recommendation statements for each subtopic, which were evaluated by the entire group. The statements were then developed via discussion among the panel and refined until consensus was achieved on each statement. RESULTS The expert panel achieved consensus on 36 recommendations for how and when to use MCS in lung transplantation. These recommendations included the use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridging strategy in the preoperative setting, a preference for central veno-arterial ECMO over traditional cardiopulmonary bypass during the transplantation procedure, and the benefit of supporting selected patients with MCS postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Achieving optimal results in lung transplantation requires the use of a wide range of strategies. MCS provides an important mechanism for helping these critically ill patients through the peritransplantation period. Despite the complex nature of the decision making process in the treatment of these patients, the expert panel was able to achieve consensus on 36 recommendations. These recommendations should provide guidance for professionals involved in the care of end-stage lung disease patients considered for transplantation.

Abstract
The role of intraoperative mechanical support during lung transplantation (LTx) is essential to provide a safe hemodynamic and ventilatory status during critical intraoperative events. This hemodynamic and ventilatory stability is vital to minimize the odds of suboptimal outcomes, especially considering that, due to the scarcity of donors and the fact that more and more patients with significant comorbidities are being considered for this therapy, a more aggressive approach is often needed by the transplant centers. Hence, the attenuation of any potential injury that can happen during this complex event is paramount. While a thorough assessment of the donor and optimization of postoperative care is pursued, certainly protective intraoperative management would also contribute to better outcomes. Understanding each patient’s underlying anatomy and cardiopulmonary physiology, associated with awareness of critical events during a complicated procedure like LTx, is essential for a precise indication and safe use of support. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) have been the most common approaches used, with the latter gaining popularity more recently and we have used VA ECMO exclusively for the last decade. New technologies certainly contributed to more liberal use of VA ECMO intraoperatively, enabling a protecting and physiologic environment for the newly implanted grafts. In this setting, potential prophylactic use for lung protection during a critical period is also considered.

Abstract
From its identification as a distinct disease entity, understanding and management of pulmonary hypertension has continuously evolved. Diagnostic and therapeutic interventions have greatly improved the prognostic implications of this devastating disease, previously rapidly and uniformly fatal to one chronically managed by multi-disciplinary teams. Improved diagnostic algorithms and active research into biochemical signatures of pulmonary hypertension (PH) have led to earlier diagnosis of PH. Medical therapy has moved from upfront use of continuous intravenous prostaglandins to administration of combinations of oral medications targeting multiple pathways underlying this disease process. In addition to improved medical therapies, recently introduced interventions such as pulmonary endarterectomy and pulmonary artery balloon angioplasty for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) give patients an increasing array of treatment options. Despite these many advances, lung transplantation remains the definitive treatment for patients with disease refractory to or progressing on best medical therapy. As our understanding of medical therapy has advanced, so to have best practices for lung transplantation. Recipient selection and approach to organ transplantation techniques have continuously evolved. Mechanical circulatory support has become increasingly employed to bridge patients through lung transplantation in the immediate post transplantation recovery. In this review, we give a history of lung transplantation for PH, an overview of PH, discuss current best practices and look to the future for insights into the care of these patients.

Abstract
Objective:In-utero correction is an option for treatment of critical congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Fetal cardiac surgery for CHDs is dependent on the reliable use of fetal cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but this technology remains experimental. In this study, we established fetal CPB models with central and peripheral cannulation to explore the differences between the two cannulation strategies. Methods: Ten fetal sheep with 90–110 gestational days were randomized into central cannulation (n = 5) and peripheral cannulation (n = 5) groups. All fetal CPB models were successfully established. At each time point (0, 30, and 60 min after initiation of CPB), echocardiography was performed. Blood samples were also collected for blood gas analysis and tests of myocardial enzymes and liver and kidney function. Results: In the central cannulation group, right ventricular Tei index significantly increased (p = 0.016) over time. Compared with the peripheral cannulation group, the left ventricular Tei index of the central cannulation group was significantly higher (1.96 ± 0.31 vs. 0.45 ± 0.19, respectively; p = 0.028) and the stroke volume was lower (0.46 ± 0.55 vs. 2.13 ± 0.05, respectively; p = 0.008) at 60 min after CPB. Levels of liver and kidney injury markers and of acid-base balance, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase/ALT ratio, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), BUN/creatinine ratio, base excess and bicarbonates, were significantly higher for peripheral than for central cannulation. Other important physiologic parameters, including heart rate, blood pressure, myocardial enzymes, umbilical artery beat index and resistance index, left ventricular Tei index, and left and right ventricular stroke volume, were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions: Both central and peripheral cannulations can be used to establish fetal CPB models. Central cannulation causes more adverse impacts for cardiac function, whereas peripheral cannulation is more susceptible to complications related to inadequate organ perfusion.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the field of lung transplantation has rapidly expanded over the past 30 years. It has become an important tool in an increasing number of specialized centers as a bridge to transplantation and in the intra-operative and/or post-operative setting. ECMO is an extremely versatile tool in the field of lung transplantation as it can be used and adapted in different configurations with several potential cannulation sites according to the specific need of the recipient. For example, patients who need to be bridged to lung transplantation often have hypercapnic respiratory failure that may preferably benefit from veno-venous (VV) ECMO or peripheral veno-arterial (VA) ECMO in the case of hemodynamic instability. Moreover, in an intra-operative setting, VV ECMO can be maintained or switched to a VA ECMO. The routine use of intra-operative ECMO and its eventual prolongation in the post-operative period has been widely investigated in recent years by several important lung transplantation centers in order to assess the graft function and its potential protective role on primary graft dysfunction and on ischemia-reperfusion injury. This review will assess the current evidence on the role of ECMO in the different phases of lung transplantation, while analyzing different studies on pre, intra- and post-operative utilization of this extracorporeal support.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension patients admitted to the intensive care unit have high mortality, and right ventricular failure typically is implicated as cause of or contributor to death. Initial care of critically ill pulmonary hypertension patients includes recognition of right ventricular failure, appropriate monitoring, and identification and treatment of any inciting cause. Management centers around optimization of cardiac function, with a multipronged approach aimed at reversing the pathophysiology of right ventricular failure. For patients who remain critically ill or in shock despite medical optimization, mechanical circulatory support can be used as a bridge to recovery or lung transplantation.

Preclosing of the femoral artery allows total percutaneous venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and prevents groin wound infection after lung transplantation. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2021; 58:371-378.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In lung transplantation (LT), femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) usually requires an open approach that may be associated with severe groin wound infection. In endovascular aortic procedures, preclosing of the femoral artery (PFA) with vascular closure devices allows the percutaneous insertion and withdrawal of large-bore cannulae. We sought to evaluate whether this innovative technique could be applied in the specific setting of LT to achieve total percutaneous VA-ECMO and decrease groin wound infection. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of a prospective database including patients who underwent LT in our centre from January 2011 to December 2017. Patients who underwent peripheral VA-ECMO using the PFA technique after January 2014 (PFA group, n = 106) were compared to those who underwent peripheral VA-ECMO using open cannulation and/or decannulation before January 2014 (non-PFA group, n = 48). The primary end point was the rate of technical success defined as total percutaneous VA-ECMO. Secondary end points included groin wound infections and delayed vascular complications. RESULTS The PFA technique was technically successful in 98 patients (92.5%). As compared with the non-PFA group, the PFA group was characterized by a similar rate of vascular complications (16.6% vs 11.3%, P = 0.360) and a decreased rate of groin wound infection (18.9% vs 0%, P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, risk factors associated with vascular complications following PFA included female sex, peripheral arterial disease and ECMO duration. CONCLUSIONS In LT patients, PFA is associated with a high rate of total percutaneous VA-ECMO, thus preventing the occurrence of groin wound infection.

Abstract
Different arterial cannulation strategies are feasible for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in postcardiotomy shock. We aimed to analyze potential benefits and safety of different arterial cannulation strategies. We identified 158 patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock requiring VA-ECMO between 01/10 and 01/19. Eighty-eight patients were cannulated via axillary or femoral artery (group P), and 70 centrally via the ascending aorta directly or through an 8 mm vascular graft anastomosed to the ascending aorta (group C). Demographics and operative parameters were similar. Change of cannulation site for Harlequin's syndrome or hyperperfusion of an extremity occurred in 13 patients in group P but never in group C (p = 0.001). Surgical revision of cannulation site was also encountered more often in group P than C. The need for left ventricular (LV) unloading was similar between groups, whereas surgical venting was more often implemented in group C (11.4% vs. 2.3, p = 0.023). Stroke rates, renal failure, and peripheral ischemia were similar. Weaning rate from ECMO (52.9% vs. 52.3%, p = NS) was similar. The 30 day mortality was higher in group P (60% vs. 76.1%, p = 0.029). Central cannulation for VA-ECMO provides antegrade flow without Harlequin's syndrome, changes of arterial cannula site, and better 30 day survival. Complication rates regarding need for reexploration and transfusion requirements were similar.

Abstract
Objective To review the outcomes of axillary artery (AX) and femoral artery (FA) cannulation for veno-arterial extracorporeal membraneous oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Methods From 2009 to 2019, 371 patients who were supported with VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock were compared based on the arterial cannulation site: AX (n = 218) versus FA (n = 153). Results Patients in the AX group were older (61 years vs 58 years, P = .011), had a greater prevalence of peripheral vascular disease (13.8% vs 5.2%, P = .008), and were less likely to have undergone cardiopulmonary resuscitation preoperatively (18.8% vs 36.6%, P < .001). Other characteristics were similar between groups, as were in-hospital outcomes, including survival to discharge (60.6% vs 56.9%), cerebrovascular accidents (12.4% vs 10.5%), cannulation-related bleeding (15.1% vs 17%), and length of VA-ECMO support (6 days). The incidence of leg ischemia (6.9% vs 15.7%, P = .006), limb ischemia related to VA-ECMO cannulation (0% vs 10.5%), the need to switch the cannulation site (4.6% vs 14.7%), and wound complications (WCs; 2.8% vs 15%) including infection and additional procedure were significantly greater in the FA group (P < .001). In multiple logistic regression analysis, FA cannulation and primary graft failure after heart transplantation were independent risk factors for cannulation-related WC. In subgroup analysis among patients with primary graft failure, WCs were more prevalent in FA cannulation (3.6% vs 39.1%, P = .001). Conclusions AX cannulation for VA-ECMO is a safe and effective alternative to FA cannulation. It can be considered especially for patients with limited groin access, peripheral vascular disease, or for primary graft failure after heart transplant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lung transplantation outcomes are influenced by the intraoperative mechanical cardiopulmonary support strategy used. This surgery was historically done either on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or off pump. Recently, there has been increased interest in intraoperative support with veno-arterial (VA) or veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). However, there is a lack of consensus on the relative risks, benefits and indications for each intraoperative support strategy. AREAS COVERED This review includes information from cohort studies, case-control studies, and case series that compare morbidity and/or mortality of two or more intraoperative cardiopulmonary support strategies during lung transplantation. EXPERT OPINION The optimal strategy for intraoperative cardiopulmonary support during lung transplantation remains an area of debate. Current data suggest that off pump is associated with better outcomes and could be considered whenever feasible. ECMO is generally associated with preferable outcomes to CPB, but the data supporting this association is not robust. Interestingly, whether CPB is unplanned or prolonged might influence outcomes more than the use of CPB itself. These observations can help guide surgical teams in their approach for intraoperative mechanical support strategy during lung transplantation and should serve as the basis for further investigations.

Abstract
Intensive care of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right-sided heart failure includes treatment of factors causing or contributing to heart failure, careful fluid management, and strategies to reduce ventricular afterload and improve cardiac function. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) should be considered in distinct situations, especially in candidates for lung transplantation (bridge to transplant) or, occasionally, in patients with a reversible cause of right-sided heart failure (bridge to recovery). ECMO should not be used in patients with end-stage disease without a realistic chance for recovery or for transplantation. For patients with refractory disease, lung transplantation remains an important treatment option. Patients should be referred to a transplant centre when they remain in an intermediate- or high-risk category despite receiving optimised pulmonary arterial hypertension therapy. Meticulous peri-operative management including the intra-operative and post-operative use of ECMO effectively prevents graft failure. In experienced centres, the 1-year survival rates after lung transplantation for PH now exceed 90%.

Abstract
During recent years, continuous technological innovation has provoked an increase of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) use for perioperative cardiopulmonary support in lung transplantation. Initial results were disappointing, due to ECLS-specific complications and high surgical risk of the supported patients. However, the combination of improved patient management, multidisciplinary team work and standardization of ECLS protocols has recently yielded excellent results in several case series from high-volume transplant centres. Therein, it was demonstrated that, although the prevalence of complications remains higher in supported patients, there may be no difference in long-term graft function between supported and non-supported patients. These results are important, because most of the patients who require ECLS support in lung transplantation are young and have no other chance to survive, but to be transplanted. Moreover, there is no device for "bridging to destination" therapy in lung transplantation. Of note, the evidence in favour of ECLS support in lung transplantation was never validated by randomized controlled trials, but by everyday experience at the patient bed-side. Here, we review the state-of-the-art ECLS evidence for intraoperative and postoperative cardiopulmonary support in lung transplantation.
