摘要
Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is accepted as a salvage therapy to treat life-threatening complications following lung transplantation such as primary graft dysfunction, acute rejection or airway dehiscence. Levitronix Centrimag (R) (Levitronix LLC, Waltham, MA) is a centrifugal pump that consists of a magnetically levitated bearing-less rotor designed to reduce blood friction. ECMO using the Levitronix Centrimag (R) pump may be an ideal medium-term support for lung transplant recipients suffering these serious complications. We describe our early experience of using ECMO with Levitronix Centrimag (R) device and the Hilite hollow fibre membrane oxygenator (Medos Hilite (R) LT, Medos Medizintechnik AG) in three cases following lung transplantation. The device is technically easy to implant and manage with a tow complication rate on minimal anticoagulation. (C) 2008 European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. Published by Elsevier B.V.
