Heart transplant is in high demand, but the wait list exceeds 6 months in Turkey. Until a donor heart can be procured, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an important support option to bridge patients on the wait list or as a rescue therapy for patients with right ventricular failure after implant of left ventricular assist device; it is less expensive than other options, provides benefits such as simple percutaneous insertion, and requires neither sternotomy nor biventricular and respiratory support. We present a case of a patient bridged to transplant with 5 months of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. |
