Textbook outcome in lung transplantation: Planned venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation versus off-pump support for patients without pulmonary hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Planned venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is increasingly used during bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation (BOLT) and may be superior to off-pump support for patients without pulmonary hypertension. In this single-institution study, we compared rates of textbook outcome between BOLTs performed with planned VA ECMO or off-pump support for recipients with no or mild pulmonary hypertension.

Methods

Patients with no or mild pulmonary hypertension who underwent isolated BOLT between 1/2017 and 2/2021 with planned off-pump or VA ECMO support were included. Textbook outcome was defined as freedom from intraoperative complication, 30-day reintervention, 30-day readmission, post-transplant length of stay >30 days, 90-day mortality, 30-day acut
