Getting to Transplantation

Michael S. Mulvihill, Matthew G. Hartwig
Candidates for lung transplantation (LTX) are increasingly critically-ill at the time of transplantation, and as such more often require invasive support strategies to bridge to transplant (1). Traditionally, this required invasive Mechanical Ventilation (iMV), and today more frequently includes the use of Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) to achieve adequate gas exchange. While there has been concern regarding futility of transplantation in such critically-ill cohorts due to early experience, post-transplant survival has steadily improved in the highest LAS quartile candidates (2).
