Area of Science:

Cardiology
Pulmonology
Transplant Surgery

Background:

Congestive heart failure and pulmonary fibrosis are leading causes of end-stage lung disease.
Organ donor shortages necessitate innovative strategies to expand the donor pool.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-support technology used in critical care.

Observation:

A 50-year-old male on venoarterial ECMO after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) became an organ donor.
The donor's lung was deemed suitable for transplantation upon evaluation.
A 68-year-old male recipient with pulmonary fibrosis received a right single-lung transplant.

Findings:

Successful lung transplantation was performed using a donor lung from an ECMO-supported patient.
The procedure demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing lungs from ECMO donors.

Implications:

This case suggests that lungs from carefully selected ECMO patients can be safely transplanted.
Utilizing ECMO-supported donor lungs may help alleviate donor lung scarcity.
Further research is warranted to establish criteria for selecting such donors and recipients.
